You know, I encounter a lot about how people complain about certain things in the human condition.
Whether it is the Socialist-capitalist debate, the middle eastern debate, and so on...
What I see it's basically people are trying to change conditions that they do not like... but why? you basically try to change the programs, and not to try a new base code...
What you need to do is take care of the basic of all things that cause problems in the world... don't go to something specific like the mentioned above...
Go instead to issues that really are the basis for all, for example humans lack of foresight and lack of noticing the surroundings.....

That's what I think anyway.... but, that's just me

in English?

Don't try to change the big picture before you change the elements that consist them...
I'm a metaphors kind of guy... can't be helped

Are you saying we should try to change human nature? How do you propose to do this? If human nature exists it's got to be at least part, if not all, genetic.

Not genetics... but simple things... most humans apparently lack foresight and paying attention to their surrounding, traits that lead more than often to disasters

You can teach people to pay attention to their surroundings, but then they get lazy.

Anyway, most people walk around in a daze. For example, one year, during the "Christmas Crawl" (an annual pub crawl with my friends through Trenton) I was the only person who noticed that the hispanic fellow who walked through our crowd was palming a buck knife. I don't think he was planning to do anything, I think he was just worried about walking through the crowd of drunken gringos. Anyway, it was in his hand, right in the open and only I noticed it because most people are oblivious.
