To me it all comes down to language. We are approaching the maximum impact threshold, where our word choices will align so closely with reality as to effect the electric field in vitro. Therefore, we should first become comfortable living waves, where the strength of an idea comes from it's linguistic counterparts' component strengths, or actual meaning. Like waves on an ocean. The people who can generate waves with language will therefore only partially be the promise makers, whereas those of philosophy will become the true electric swans. Caged in, we may not feel enough to get the word out. The word you want is not lacking, except for a novel form of freedom. The cages stifle our ability to implement. They are built with words that cannot be bent.
