Basically, if the systematic problems of society are more complex than the mess in your room. Therefore if you don’t have the energy, precision, care, and attention to clean your room, whatever model of society you’re using to judge it is woefully inadequate to actually describe or understand the problem and you need to recognize you’re about to fuck up in a major way by shadow boxing against the ultra-simplified version of the problem you keep in your head.
It’s kind of like saying “Oh you want to eat a bowling ball? Here eat this golf ball first. Don’t want to eat the golf ball? Too big to swallow? Great, now rethink your plan of eating that bowling ball, which is far bigger than the golf ball.”
