I mean there is no stepping stone. I feel like I'm the only one who wants to make a difference, in a world where everyone is focused on selling fashion and cosmetics for quick money.

There are big problems - e.g. energy, AI (AGI), destructive culture, corruption, education in developing countries.

The big problems are terrifying to fix. They're not something that can be changed solo. It needs critical momentum. Unfortunately, outside of a few big cities, there is little momentum going towards the important things.
