Three things young people should know to change the world:

1. Obedience is extremely dangerous.
2. People in power manipulate us into acceptance
3. Doing nothing is obeying a deadly order

Notice: people who are not young are not mentioned. Why?

They have grave difficulty learning or doing these things, but find their opposites familiar, habitual, perfect, and obvious.

Answer: Get young. Now.
