Structural Traps and the Free-Rider Problem

Society isn't broken by accident, it is actually rigged by the math of human behavior.

There is this concept called the free-rider problem that explains why nothing ever changes.

Basically, even if we all want the same thing, nobody moves because everyone is waiting

for someone else to do the work so they can benefit for free. That is why small

lobbies always beat the majority. Plus, we are trapped in dynamic stabilization.

We have to run faster and work harder every year just to stay in the same place.

You aren't burnt out, you are just living in a structural trap.
