(47,803 posts)Yes there are people who propose thongs in brosd terms, and there are people who propose specific ideas.
Nothing wrong with setting goals. One reason we have experts in the world is to connect dots and fill in and achieve in their area of expertise,
It's like deciding that curing cancwr is a priority. That process starts with identifying it as a goal, and then building concensus. THen it requires finding and allocating the resources...And ultimately it requires all of the medical and scientific experts to make it a reality.
Many different areas of expertise are ultimately required. BUT the first and most important step is setting the goal and building concensus.
Right now we still have to build a concensus that we are going to STOP making it a priority to further enrich the wealthy and corporations with piss-down policies and START actually changing the values and political culture that perpetuates the ongoing upward tranferring wealth and power....With a is political will to do so, there also has to be discussion about what to specifically achieve social and economic process.
Its a complicated process but everyone has something to contribute regardless of their own strengths and limitations.
