You... have a strange definition of 'finding a way'.
To me, that means; outlinining a reasonably effective plan to achieve what you want, with a realistic chance of succeeding should it be pursued.
It does not mean successfully executing that plan.
You can find a path in the woods, and you can actually walk that path.
These are not the same thing.
In the context of a society, you expand this analogy to include ... masses of people being convinced of the plan, as well as collectively and broadly judging what groups of people actually did, whether or not they even conceptually considered walking the described path, vs en masse walking the found path.
Also, I've in my last comment outlined another 'way'.
But, yet again, despite this way having a decent chance of working if executed competently, my strong inclination is that most of the people who say they are very concerned about all these things, say they want things to change...
They will not do what it would actually take, they will flip to complaining about what is reasonable to expect from people, from themselves... they will not be willing to risk true sacrifice for a greater good, they will continue to be (ironically) reactive, instead of proactive.
We are broadly frogs being slowly boiled, and yes, that is an accurate analogy, because we have broadly acquiesed to being lobotomized by corporate media and social media, as opposed to radically rejecting it.
