Any "solution" that rests on "educating people" is not going to work.

What works is incentives and design that makes it hard to misuse or obvious how to use.

This is not true at all, lol. How do you think modern civilization came to be?

Man, I think our premises are incompatible, I view "civilization" as regression and arrogance (read the Wikipedia intro or dictionary definition and tell me otherwise).

It doesn't solve anything for anyone, it's just an effective system of slavery.
