So when you say there will be valuable takeaways from this study, you're right. Knowledge is power, and the people demand power returned to them. If this study causes more people to wake up and realize our soon demise with the support of the status quo, and if they make their voices heard in rejection of the status quo based off the knowledge of this study, then it has proven useful.

No, it requires more than that. The idiots who read 2 paragraphs into an article and decide that "THE RICH PIGS ARE HOLDING US DOWN" are making their voices heard, sure, but they're not saying anything productive.

Real change requires a well thought-out solution in addition to protesting or calling for change.

Just "making your voice heard" by itself when you haven't thought beyond "this [thing] sucks, plz fix" amounts to whining, and it's unfortunately a pretty popular trend. I prefer discussions with people who have real, actionable ideas on how to enact change. It's a lot better than complaining and leaving the driver's keys with the people who landed us in this economic mess to begin with.
