The problem is our unconscious-mind's habits & reactions.
It's much more fundamental than "the system", because if we were put on a planet with NO system, we'd create a problematic one, within months, due to unconscious-instinct.
THAT is what has to be force-changed.
"physician: 1st heal thyself"
Humankind has to force our unconscious-mind to change its instincts/reactions.
Since humankind won't do that, then universe is going to be cornering humankind into doing it, or into force-self-extinguishing.
That's the ONLY method which applies necessary & sufficient force to our unconscious-mind's habit, to MAKE it plasticize/learn, & at that level of force, it'll take 6 or so decades.
So, I don't expect humankind to outgrow our ignorance's murderousness until the 2080's.
IF humankind survives it.
There's no way of escaping The Great Filter.
Either earn surviving it, XOR whole-species DarwinAward/extinguishment.
