Mr. Apollo 13

I shall address your great points, one-at-a-time.

The average joe is not really awake enough to care.

So true. That is why the TDG will start with 1% of the population, maybe less.

The house will probably burn down along with those in it first.

This, unfortunately, is plausible. I am offering a solution to prevent this mess, but judging from political Medium contributors, they seem to prefer the house burning down rather than investigate a new way.

Then it will change.

From history, we can see that revolutions seldom produce results the people are looking for. Most often, the victors in the revolution tend to set things up for their benefit. The building of the TDG provides a more thoughtful and experemental way to find out what works and doesn't work.
