My favorite quote from the Anarchist's Manifesto: "To Fix Anything, start Everywhere. To Fix Everything, start Anywhere."

It looks grim, and we're going to have to use the few things we've gotten right as a species to fix everything else we've allowed to go wrong.

Places like YC, Twitter, YouTube, etc. have been focusing on insignificant things like clicks and conversions and "content" for years. The public sector has been allowed to fester and become corrupted by people who understand they make more money through controlling the system than they do by actually running it as intended. Meanwhile, BOTH systems are run by a precariously small class of VC's and wanna-be VC's who have become further and further insulated from their consequences.

The real solutions will involve fixing both.
