I can't fix the entire world, but within my circle of family, co-workers, and friends, I try to the best of my abilities to lead by example and NOT cheat. Maybe that's how you "fix the world?"

I agree that if each of us individually took personal responsibility for being wise, there would be wisdom. But how far has the needle moved given that most major religion, progressive philosophy and political science advocates as much?
