That "lie" you speak of is taking its toll. It is really only a matter of time before the collapse. We've been ignoring the problems for decades, kicking it down the road for the next generation to deal with, and so far none have.
I hate to be a pessimist on this, but it doesn't matter how many brilliant and compassionate people formulate a plan for a utopian society. The rest of the people that are to live in it are selfish, self-centered, shortsighted idiots. And until you get them to go along with it, it won't happen. So in other words, it won't happen.
We are marching towards a collapse, and it won't be pretty. Will likely be bloody. Perhaps when the dust settles those that remain will come up with a better idea and start again.
