Human overpopulation

There are a lot of question thrown in there but you make a key point. Too often people point accusatory fingers to places they only ever partly belong. Truth is we're all responsible to a degree but instead of looking in we look out and shun the responsibility to do anything about it. It's often reinforced through society as well sadly.

We live in a world in which personal responsibility too commonly isn't advocated or pursued even from central government. Truly if you ever want anything in this world to change you must first embody that change before pleading with others to do the same. Live it, breath it, do your best to make it happen. If you don't tackle your problems you're forever at the mercy of them, to tackle them firstly you must accept them and take responsibility for them. If that is never forthcoming change is never so.

Is some progress better than none? It's a key question. Too often people become limited in their thinking, selfish short term desires overcome them, long term meaningful change is stifled as a result. Just take a look at politics for a western example. Is the objective to implement long term meaningful change or just show positive points over the short term candidacy. Big changes happen over generations and scale over more than a single life time, much of politics is defective by design. Sacrifice is a necessity which is often avoided. The ends are considered to justify the means and artificial measures are put in place, as a result no substantial progression is ever made because attitudes don't change. That last part is key. Approach is far more important than position for the latter is only ever temporary.
