The most important line in the article:

"...In order to change the world, we need to understand it..."

And the article also gives us the most important understanding about our world today: the single most important factor determining everything in our world today is "vested interest".

And because of this all our sciences, structures, solutions break down at a certain point.

We always set out to study and understand the "world as it is" in an objective fashion.

But when all our moves, motives are determined by "vested interest" it is impossible to see, research objectively, we will always see and create a distorted world.

And this comes from our inherent human nature, there exists no human being that is capable of viewing the world in an objective fashion, we will always perceive the world subjectively, basing all decisions and actions on self calculations, thus if we truly want to view and change the world we have to start by changing our inherent human nature. We need to exit our selfish boxes, "meet each other in between" in a mutual space and start examining the reality there.

And although it sounds impossible at first sight, humans are the only creatures that can develop a truly objective self-analysis and based on that we are also capable of changing ourselves.

It is not easy, and it is a gradual process, and first of all we need a desire to do so by recognizing our failures, looking honestly at the world and the crisis around us that originates purely from this selfish, self centered human nature.

Increasing suffering, hardship has the power to force us to this self analysis and self-change, but we could speed up the process, going a step ahead of the blows, if we are wise and start acknowledging and examining the signs around us properly and honestly from now on.
