We are also (part of) the system.
But yes, I agree.

That helplessness that you feel Patrick, is not a personal problem.
It is built into the system. You have been taught, ever since you
were a child, that people knew better than you, your parents knew
better, your teacher knew better, your boss knew better, your doctor
knew better, the government knows better. That message suits this
system, disempowers you. To find your own authentic voice is not
easy. But that is what P2P is about. It is sharing, it is
collaboration with people on the same level. It is a new way of
relating with respect and dignity for each person, friend, stranger,
acknowledging we are all part of one family. Maybe what we can
accomplish on the global scale is very small, but the feeling we can
get from doing what we can is transformative, and can turn that
helpless feeling into positive creativity.

I think the tragedy of the commons is also
partly caused by a feeling of helplessness
combined with the (partially true) belief
that things are already so bad and the
amount we each add, individually, is so
small, that it hardly matters whether each
of us adds to the problem or not and so
we choose the short-term benefits over
the long-term benefits because it seems
(it feels as though) no matter what we do,
the end result will be the same.
