No, I have the same question as that other poster. It is not a bad faith question.

There are a lot of problems that would be solved immediately if "we" (i.e. all of humanity, or all of the U.S. or some other country) decided collectively to do something: climate change, nuclear weapons proliferation, war, and so on. But that's effectively wishing for magic -- there is no way to get everyone to collectively agree on something, so unless you explain how to cope with that fact, you haven't actually made any progress.

Given that I personally don't control humanity as a hive mind, what can I do to fix this problem? You haven't proposed an answer to that.
