There's no system that can compensate for what people think, want, and do.

We just need to be better. All anyone can do is be a bit better everyday. It's a monumental, hard task that we all just need to do.

This is how society gets better. We have come a long way. We have a long way to go. We can't "design" our way out of simply being better people.
