That means working in the system.
There is a very beautiful expression in the Hebrew language that's borrowed from spoken Torah... 'All is predicted, and permission is given at any point to change anything.'

Many individuals are doing what they can. But real success can only come if there is a change in our societies and in our economics and in our politics.
Climate change is sometimes misunderstood as being about changes in the weather. In reality it is about changes in our very way of life.

People are spending way too much time thinking about climate change, way too little thinking about AI.
Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice.

People can try to reinvent themselves. I don't think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you've done up to now.
We could only solve our problems by cooperating with other countries. It would have been paradoxical not to cooperate. And therefore we needed to put an end to the Iron Curtain, to change the nature of international relations, to rid them of ideological confrontation, and particularly to end the arms race.
Art is not supposed to change the world, to change practical things, but to change perceptions. Art can change the way we see the world. Art can create an analogy.

Yes, fall gives us a premonition of winter, but then, winter, will be forced to relent, once again, to the new beginnings of soft greens, longer light, and the sweet air of spring.
