We are taught to think of our success in terms of numbers.
If touching one person's life is a good thing, then touching one thousand people's lives must be a great thing.
It's easy to see where we learned to think this way.
Our whole society revolves around mass production.
The more units we can move,
the more customers we can serve,
the more votes we can get,
the more money and the more stuff we have, is better, right?
Maybe it's not possible to touch one thousand people as quickly or as powerfully as one person or ten people.
Maybe it's not really so revolutionary after all to have one person or a group of twenty tell everybody else what's right.
Wouldn't it be better to try a decentralized approach where everyone works closely with those around them, instead of a few people leading an anonymous mass?
Do you have to save the world all by yourselves?
Why don't you trust anyone else to do it with you?
a few minor corrections to the talking bit.
