It isn't that they can't see the solution. It's that they can't see the problem. They can't see the problem if they are looking in the wrong place. They can't see the problem if they have blinders on - for 'none are so blind as those that will not see'.
The world is not something separate from you and me; the world, society, is the relationship that we establish or seek to establish between each other.

That world is not separate from us; we are the world, and our problems are the world's problems.
