"majority of the population is absolutely fine with the status quo"

The majority isn't happy, they just aren't hungry enough to make changes. Plus what can the majority do when the political/economic/information system is totally rigged against them? Voting doesn't work in the national arena, protests don't work and revolutions/social disorder have a high chance of failure, death, destruction and worse government.



The conclusion still stands. Societal change is much more difficult to implement than technological change that works on an individual basis.
