PART VI: THE WORLD WE COULD BUILD

The final part of this book turns from diagnosis to prescription -- from what is wrong to what could be right. Having identified the principles, obstacles, and philosophical resources, these chapters propose concrete institutional reforms, educational transformations, and civilizational self-assessments that follow from the Common Sense framework.

This is the constructive heart of the book: not utopian fantasy but rational necessity, derived from the same empirical principles that have organized the entire argument. The world we could build is not a perfect world. It is simply a world in which common sense is common practice.
