RE: Have humans really changed that much in the past 2000 years?
I wonder: To what extent does the persistence of this system depend on the majority of people being unaware of its existence and just accepting their lot as 'the way it is'? If it is highly dependent on this ignorance, the fact that we now have such powerful information and communication networks and the ability to educate people about the power structures that rule them, could spell the end of this way of organising human life.
We have the power to educate massive amounts of people, but we have competition! We have schools that teach us to think a certain way, we have the news (the most terrible source of information), we have movies (some actually rebel against the system, but they don't spell it out for the people -- they just don't usually get it; their minds are too locked in), and we have social media sites that take over the internet. Most television and social media sites have over-board censorship... YouTube's new policy demonetizes anything "controversial." People just don't have any will to dig deeper, they just accept the information right in front of them... We just need to get people out of their comfort zone, and hopefully, we can end this!
