Anarchy by Other Means

Why do people always think that the best way to disrupt a system is by doing damage? Sure bombs and mass shootings can hurt a lot of people, but the impact is never as extreme as what the terrorists expect.

I think a far more longterm disruptive thing would be to create stuff that has a positive impact. Can you image how much you would change EVERYTHING if you found cures for major diseases and released them for free?

A lot of the money in US politics comes from rich people who control major swaths of companies, such as medical. Cure all the stuff, make those cures free, and suddenly you take out a lot of the control held by the people who are actually harmful.

By the same token, I don't get why drug cartels aren't taking their money and turning the Mexican border into a massive medical zone. Some of this is happening, but it could be far larger. If they started offering quality medical care and medicine at reasonable prices, they could change EVERYTHING.

Seriously. Kindness will always be the greatest form of anarchy.
