For change to happen, somebody has to be a change agent. But if that agent starts thinking, “I’m not exploited; I benefit from this discriminatory system too,” then who will demand change? My employer earns 11X from my intellectual labor, pays me X, and saves 10X. But that X enables me to run my household and fulfill my dreams. So, will I ever rise and rebel? The system bribes you into submission. The exploiter incentivizes the exploited to stay exploited.

Questioner: Pranam Acharya Ji. I'm Abhilash. I have a question related to discrimination.
For so many generations we have seen inequalities and discrimination for so long. There is income inequality, caste-based discrimination, gender-based discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination, and we have gone through this for many, many generations. But now what I see is that there are different flavors of such discrimination. Now we are speaking about how the Global North and South are widening, and climate injustice. I see that these discriminations have become more deep and also systemized.
So, despite having so much of violence around these discriminations, how come change is not coming up? How come there is no effective and meaningful change happening?
Acharya Prashant: From where will the change come? Change requires a change agent, right?
