If you don’t like the way things are you can:

A) critique it
B) try to convince others to do it
C) talk / write about it
D) build the future yourself

I think of it as activation energy vs focus area 2x2 matrix

Genius framing of types of change-making. 

I really respect people who live on the bottom row (particularly bottom right).  Not a huge fan of top left – probably explains a good amount of my natural distrust of most marxist-school philosophy and loud social activism.

Also fits interestingly into the Jungian observations, particularly highlighted in James Hollis' "The Middle Passage" of those in a 1st Adulthood vs a 2nd Adulthood.

The first being driven by a lot of earlier/external/egoic orientation.
The latter being a flow of sorts from true deep purpose?

Funfact: I've heard Jung wouldn't work with anyone under 40 as they weren't ready 😂
