The Manifesto of the New Reactionary School of Economic and Philosophical Thoughts, the Prussian Way
Despite personal opinions we all have, only a matter whether people are honest at expressing them, our fundamental jobs are not to judge, police, or push/manipulate for a "better world" in each of our interests, nor should we pretend being selfless moral saints. Our fundamental job is to practically do what's the best for the interests of our stakeholders -- customers, teammates, investors, families, friends and ourselves, by watching out our risks and seeking the upsides at the same time to achieve a reasonable balance, by predicting the weather and reacting practically, instead of trying to manipulate the weather to force what we prefer on others.
Think about it. A "better world" does not exist. It never existed. It's only a matter of being better for whom, in what dimension, under what conditions and circumstances, and in whose angle of views. If each party of interests simply look out for themselves within a reasonable frame of common standards of imperfection and moderation, the world would likely adjust itself and be just fine, much better than the acute pains from revolutions, no matter what "better world" revolutionaries say they are creating and no matter what kind of revolution it is. Admit it, human beings are fundamentally flawed, all of us. Flawed human beings can never possibly create a "better world" based on flawed biomechanics and spirits, nor can they even identify what is better, better for whom, under what conditions and circumstances...
Remember that almost all the worst disasters in human history were done by those who said or thought they were making a "better world".
However, philosophically, remember that "it is what it is", as what my mentor Oski always said. What will happen will happen anyway... Fate is not anti-science but a matter deeper than science -- fundamentally about logics and philosophy of what time truly is.
You may call the above "The Manifesto of War against Forcing a 'Better World' on Others", or The Manifesto of the New Reactionary School of Economic and Philosophical Thoughts, the Prussian way.
Stop being one-directional. Be practical. Do not all-in. Hedge your risks.

The Other Old Post of Mine I Tried to Find but Could Not, Let Me Rewrite It Here:
There are 3 ways to view what "time" fundamentally is.
- Albert Einstein: Time is a real but relative dimension;
- Nikola Tesla: Time is real and fixed always;
- Mike Liang: Time is merely an artificial dimension existing upon perceptions only.
