Achieving real change

Overview

• Changing how we think is the only way to achieve real change in society.
• The American Revolution, the end of slavery and the Enlightenment were not achieved by voting, but by enough people changing their minds.

Network effects

• As more and more people adopt the 3L philosophy, change will inevitably occur.
  • Statutory laws will change as:
    • more legislators change their political positions to maintain their elected seats, or
    • voters replace them with people who have adopted the 3L philosophy.
• It will be increasingly unpopular for executive branch members to implement unjust laws that punish people who do not violate the Legal Principle.

Changing hearts and minds is key

• Because of the risk of misinterpretation, there is no substitute for understanding the essence of the 3L Philosophy in our hearts and minds
• If we don’t achieve our goal of changing the minds of a critical mass of the citizens, our progress will not be sustained – judges applying the Legal Principle would reach unreasonable decisions.

The importance of good parenting

• There is a strong relationship between horrible parenting and crime. Being good parents is one hugely important thing we can do to bring more peace into the world.
