Exhorting Atheists to Solve Society's Ills

You obviously missed my post with links to the solutions that I propose. https://atheistforums.org/thread-60800-p...pid1967740

Here's an article from a Harvard professor of jurisprudence alluding to the social disorderliness we endure.
Quote:Even when they recede, pandemics and other great crises seldom leave social and economic arrangements as they were. It is up to us to decide what the legacy of this wrenching episode will be. Our best hope is to pursue the intimations of solidarity implicit in this moment to reframe the terms of public discourse, to find our way to a morally more robust political debate than the rancorous one we have now.
http://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/13/opinio...rness.html

The solutions we need are a reliable knowledge classification system, and its derivative, a reliable corporate organization format (government).

Because of my enhanced critical thinking skills, I am the only person able to recognize that the three-part separation of government theory is erroneously deployed in our governing system, and that such an error, causes several blatant problems, one of which, leads to the perpetual partisan strategies for power that leave large portions of the citizenry dissatisfied, or otherwise misinformed of the reasoning for regulations, causing their inability to reason, which leads to the social disorderliness we endure, rather than the approach to domestic tranquility that our federal government is commissioned to pursue.
How about you? What has your sense of critical thinking and reasoning lead you to recognize as the problem with society, and the corrective measures to resolve the problem?

I suggest that you avoid the suggestion of the dismantling of theism, because you have had plenty of opportunity to make suggestions, and it is obvious that independent atheists cannot formulate a campaign any better than that which the established atheist activities have pursued, otherwise we would know about it. 

What do you suggest to make this a better world?

Professor Shitforbrains does not describe a way of correcting the problem, but he envisions that something has to happen to lead to the correction, but he does offer you mediocre thinkers the benefit of the doubt for possibly generating a solution.
Quote:But beyond the issue of health care, we need to think more broadly about the way we contend with inequality. We need to better reward the social and economic contributions of work done by the majority of Americans, who don’t have college degrees. And we need to reckon with the morally corrosive downsides of meritocracy.

What do you suggest to make this a better world?

I forgot to mention, we need practical solutions described.

Grievances and complaints are a dime a dozen. Generating a system of directives that process the correction is what we are looking for.

No, I saw the post. I didn’t read your links, though, I simply removed them.

I would start by advocating a massively funded programme to search for a cure to the Dunning-Kruger effect. I would follow this by making the treatment mandatory.

So list some solutions, then. You have the floor.

He is that. Mostly because he doesn’t realize he’s being played.

I'm think of starting in Asia, through Africa and the Middle East, then into Europe and the Americas.
