5. I have a quibble with the placement
of Knowledge inside the Truth boundary. It's a truism that people Know all sorts of things that defy objective reality. Often they are willing to die for those things. Maybe that falls under rubric of Truthiness, which your diagram doesn't account for. I may be drifting away from the argument you're making, but I'm not clear where you're going with this. We have at least some idea of what needs to be done, but our "leaders" aren't doing it and there seems to be no way to make them do it. There's little public pressure for change because the corporate media keep the public in the dark. Corporate Capitalists are the pigs in the parlor, and no change can happen 'til we get them out. Elections don't work because they've been monitized, like everything else. To me the issues seem at once simpler and more difficult than what you're suggesting.
