This used to be something a lot of people were working on - and they took their duties seriously. There must be some of these people still around, but I don't know any of them. I suspect they got discouraged and gave up. But they haven't realized this, and are not likely to.
They observed, correctly - that the world was no longer good for people. And they also observed, correctly - that this situation was not likely to be changed. There were too many forces working against it.
This conclusion needs to be carefully examined - but to do that, they must first realize, this conclusion had been reached.
How did this happen?
Little by little - in their collective unconscious. And this is an important point - the collective unconscious does exist, but we have not taken it seriously.
It is a vast repository of observations, people have made collectively, and stored away for future reference. Since it is unconscious, people are not aware of it - but it affects how they act, anyway.
If they had been smart, they would have spend some time getting acquainted with it - getting acquainted with their unconscious beliefs. But they were not smart, and avoided doing this.
When I was back in Silicon Valley, in the Nineties - I had therapists, a number of them. But none of them encouraged me to examine my unconscious beliefs. This was not something that was done in the Valley.
In fact, this was not being done anywhere.
