And then what? Those words mean nothing to the people with the most power and motivation (or lack of care) to derail the whole thing.

It’s about as effective as placing a monkey in a porcelain shop then walking away while commenting loudly “Now now, it is very important none of the porcelain breaks, everyone knows it must remain intact”. The monkey doesn’t give a shit.

Butchering a proverb: “The best time to reorganise your porcelain store was before you bought a monkey. The second best time is after you sell the monkey.”

I sincerely don’t even know what you’re talking about right now. But it definitely isn’t related to my original argument. My point was about the task and the right time to tackle it, while you seem to be hung up on the words of the Secretary. The words are immaterial to this practical matter, as is any vague general concept of “changing the world”. I’m talking about this specific case, not building a philosophical thesis on the subject of improving humanity.
