Dr.Loy, I have wondered since reading the chapter "The three poisons, Institutionalized" how it might be possible to realize a system in which people and corporations alike would aim and prosper through providing more than they benefit. beyond that, how could we feasibly establish a global policy of beneficence and direct companies away from producing delusion? The influence that corporations exert seems too great and integral to out current economy to try to alter them without causing fear of its collapse, and receiving resistance because of this. The way things are, it seems that none of the big players would bite at the idea, and so long as they maintain the current status quo, nothing will be able to change on the large scale. It seems that it would be best to begin change on the individual level, but this causes me to wonder how long it might take for most people, and especially most businesses, to rid themselves of the three poisons. Considering the state of the world, I doubt the human race can properly function or benefit from current methods for much longer, and I am uncertain that the necessary change on the large scale through individuals is enough to alter our course before it ends up being too late to sufficiently mitigate what damage will be done.
