What if the person is only sometimes led by his feelings? He is a child who sometimes, under some specific easy conditions, is able to act like an adult.

I'll have to think about it. At first I thought you were talking about selective breeding.

I am absolutely certain that any changes implemented en mass never last long. So I never think in terms like let's do xyz to all the people and then we will achieve our objective.

The changes last, if you implement it on yourself, go together with likeminded ones, be strong enough mentally and physically to stick to your ways. While you are too small and lack strength, grow secretively (so you do not have to defend against an impossibly stronger enemy), then be strong enough to stick to your ways openly and demonstrably. Gain more and more likeminded people joining your community, but don't make compromises, don't get soft, don't let any deviations to infest it. The hardest it gets when your own children try to deviate. Cannot happen. You must either fix them or get them out. Until the opposition is smaller, irrelevant, and no longer there.

It seems bitcoin has been following a very similar path since its birth.

Now, I did not say how to get rid of the dependent grown up children. But it is doable. You just have to be firm and stubborn - i.e. an adult. Maybe not necessarily an arahant, but not far off.

You onow, a child is like an apprentice. He does not become master when he turns 18. He becomes a master when he becomes a master.
