So, my (rather depressing) opinion is we can't change our society ('social sluggishness') without major crises (I'd like to do this without millions of dead bodies...) and that is why I think small self sustaining community can actually do this.
I really liked the ending of lecture that puts optimistic tone to all this (who would say, 4000 years ago, that peasants could build 4M tons building... pyramids) Challenge the impossible!
