What should society look like? I'll take a stab at it.

We should value compassion and authentic relationships, rather than talking in the language of power. We should get the f over ourselves, and especially value those that do, as they're more likely to be trusted with positions of power since they have a level of self-knowledge that many do not. We should stop obsessing over meaningless things like money and get on with doing what we, personally, need to do. We should stop accepting the disgustingly low level of national discourse that pervades the mainstream media and move towards talking like adults. We should stop living in a reactionary, fear-based mode, especially with regard to terrorism. We should stop being obsessed with work in a vain attempt to define ourselves.

In short, we should take responsibility for our lives as humans and the impact we have on everyone around us. Currently, there's too much of an incentive to act like an asshole.
