Getting to live in a civilized society with a responsible government. Witness the counterexample.

that's not something you can accomplish just by practicing critical thinking yourself, you'd need to convince a majority of the population to do the same.

we can vent here but it's not gonna change things, a wider cultural shift is needed. and even then I don't see it guaranteeing a "responsible govermment", e.g. see PRC China for example
