Yeah. I was sarcastic. I'm excited to see if somebody actually has an idea how to go about that. But I do believe, no matter how well intentioned the agenda might be, in the end it will just add to the mess. So I think that the best thing one can do is to "not add anything new".
If you believe this then nothing can ever get better and the world falls into ruin. But in reality things are made better all the time, and real engineers know this, it's the basis of the profession.
I understand... Maybe it's just difficult to find something that can be replaced.

That means I'm not throwing enough pebbles...
