Not trying to be rude, but you've done nothing to peak my interest. In fact, all you've done is made some rather grand and unlikely claims and presented yourself in a way that I find quite hypocritical. Sarcasm is just my default when I encounter these traits. It's very hard to take somebody who displays them seriously.

Again, we're talking about huge, wildly complex economic, social and cultural systems. I consider my self to be fairly smart, and I recognise that they're way beyond my understanding. I don't believe for a second you have neat, practical solutions to these problems. Because if you did, if anybody did, they'd be shouting them from the rooftops and everybody would be listening to them.

A lack of skill as a writer isn't much of an obstacle if you genuinely have solutions that might change the world.

Again, not trying to be rude, but you're far from the first person who's approached me asking me to write out their world-changing ideas for them. And, of course, I'd be happy to share some truly world-changing ideas with a wider audience. But I'll need a little more than "I stopped eating chocolate and don't 'feel' like a Westerner," before I'm interested in investing time.
