Nah comes from the theory that a person is an intelligent and reasonable being, people however are belligerent, ignorant and suspicious.We're not talking "likely outcome" -- we are talking "no outcome allowed by definition of the system itself" versus "potential [if unlikely] outcome allowed by definition of the system."
And you never know will change that could impact the latter. Times change. The world changes. Disasters strike. Things change people's minds over time.
And there's still a big difference in the atmosphere. You're looking far too hard at the surface similarities without acknowledge underlying differences that, though intangible, permeate out to impact the environment.
Trying to change the system means joining the system. If the system is set up to keep you out (as it has been and is in many cases) then how do you join it? If an outside force pushes the issue and your let in then your now running in a wheel within wheel and your output torque is nigh on nothing. Yes change can be affected but so too can change happen under a dictatorial rule because humans do not obey rules... ever. Though the change is not supposed to happen, nor allowed to happen, it will still happen.
Who? Me or you?For me, all said in the fine art of making the discussion as vague as possible!
