Shrug. That is an idea, it remains to be seen how well it would work.

We could also try changing the way we think. People love to try to change society, but they don't realize that we are the ones that made society. As long as all you do is deconstruct society into power struggles you're never really going to change anything. If you change the way people think on the other hand you will inevitably change society. It's just that that's a lot harder to do, or even conceive, and people are lazy. Or worse.

I'd argue that peoples' thoughts are based on the societal structures. Changes in system thought patterns require a change in the environment.

You can't just magically have people thinking different. You have to change the environment in some way to make people think differently. It's not just a switch you can change through wishing things were different.
