"The world needs a catalyst to shake our collective egos so that we can learn a new way of living with one another."

Not only will this force us to live with each other (group identity is getting out of hand, and it's resulting in tribalism), but it will force us to return to the problem of meaning and where it lies. We will have to deal with our problems head on. These problems will slam us into the dirt so that we can spot where we erred in our thinking.

These transformations stem from deeper in the soul than most state-level revolutions. They must be more fundamental.
