IMO if you’re capable you should start your own business that adheres to the values you mentioned.

If you’re FI might as well craft the future you want instead of hoarding the potential capital. If you hate mega corps then start a company and put people from minority background on your leadership roster. Focus your resources towards building something useful. Idk I feel like waiting for FI or the “system” to change is naive.

My whole career as a software engineer and entrepreneur has been stitching together multiple systems to work together in harmony. It’s much easier to write layers on top of the complexity for new people, or to leverage the strengths and account for the weaknesses of certain systems to make them work well together.

I’m sure this can apply to changing the society. It’s cheap to say just burn it down and start over, or that the system sucks and boohoo. It’s hard to actually do the work of making a difference now today so society will be better off in x decades.

Also life is literally a competition for survival. It doesn’t mean we should be awful to each other but to try and remove competition wholesale is also a dead end IMO.

Good luck!
