I don't think there is a "fixed" version of the world. It's an infinitely complex machine running on entropy at its very core creating the next iteration from the last prompt at each moment and there is literally billions of us pushing the buttons.
We need to just look at the reality around us and do our part for what's in our reach to change. Everyone has an idea of what perfect means to them and it likely doesn't agree with anyone else and may straight up conflict with. The best system would be one that is fair and let's each self actuate as much as they want without hurting others but we are not there and will not get there from our current position without massive upheaval of those that have more than they could possibly want it need. Taking away even a little of their excess will feel like oppression.
So, I don't think we should chase fixed I think we should do what we can for "better"
