    Game theory, every player is playing to their own interest and as the old saying goes, it’s the nail that hangs out that gets hammered. It’s not until there’s a critical mass that the general population starts feeling safe enough to join in. Most people are just trying their best in the system and waiting for someone with enough inertia to come around, with enough will and force to feel safe joining in to changing things. This is also why the main tactic of the system is to divide and conquer, to never allow a critical mass to form.

    We can’t wait for others, we must be the change we want to see in the world. The others will follow when the time is right. In this process first you will be ignored, then you will be laughed at, then they will actively fight you, and if you can maintain then you win. It’s a lot of sacrifice to be the one, to be that snowflake that causes an avalanche.
