> How can an individual have both the critical thinking and still have the gut to contribute to this?

Personal experience has taught me that critical thinking does not nessecarily go hand in hand with the ability and/or the guts to push for change.

Many who move through corporate worlds do so for personal gains, and will not speak out against or put them selves in the spotlight to fix issues that might reflect badly on their upward progress in the hierarchy.

And from my interaction of these kinds of people, they have often been very intelligent.

I believe the same behaviour and motives sadly exist for many in modern day societies.

Agreed. The abundance of powerful organizations that commit great harms for personal gain, both now and throughout history, makes it very clear that capable people do this.

It is very hard to put myself in their shoes, and contort my brain to make their actions feel like a thing I could do.
