Pain &amp; loss are unfortunate requirements, aka "learning the hard way" through experience instead of a lecture.</p><p>Given that we will do more to avoid pain, standing on the mainstream sidelines is what the comfy majority do. That area is constantly shrinking though, so that's one thing in favor of motivating serious change.</p><p>I think that short term mentality also is impeding the solutions we're talking about, which are by nature quite long term, generational aspects. We will have to modify religious world-views, <a href="https://c.im/tags/nationalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nationalist</span></a> /economic, and scientific ones as well, all notoriously slow to change &amp; adapt, even though inevitable in the long run.</p><p>These institutions suffer from the lack of <a href="https://c.im/tags/openaccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>openaccess</span></a> &amp; <a href="https://c.im/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> properties in duplicitous manners.

Puzzle-solving ~/= bug patches. We are well beyond a saturation of patches; it's time for a paradigm shifting philosophy &amp; protocol.

Leaders emerge across all scales, and need to be able to find common ground with their distant cohorts, rather than competitive isolation or aggression for individual benefit.</p><p>These leaders, and the groups/networks they represent, are very diverse. A default to "Open" principles means, among other things, looking for shared desires &amp; interests to build <a href="https://c.im/tags/cooperation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cooperation</span></a> on, rather than immediately dividing along lines of difference.</p>
