The challenge of improving most everything

The world we live in isn't perfect and I can not imagine it will ever become perfect. But we can improve many things, most things if you ask me. Not everything needs to be improved, not everything can be improved now or even ever. On this page not a concrete list of topics, but thinking about how to go about improving things. Making a change isn't easy, it is a challenge, making it better can succeed but it can also fail, the first times.

Reasons to make a Change

Costs a Change

Types of resistance against chance:


- resistance from stuff
- resistance from life (excluding people)
- resistance from people
- resistance from rules

These are the actions I think we have to take:
