Acharya Prashant explains that human beings are never truly inactive; rather, they act based on their limited perceptions and self-interest. He argues that the reason people do not work toward noble causes like climate change is a lack of clarity and consciousness. When an individual is unaware of their true situation, they remain in a state of metaphorical sleep. Therefore, the fundamental problem is not the action itself but the actor, whose consciousness is blurred. Without self-knowledge and an understanding of the world, individuals cannot make optimal or meaningful decisions.
