Yes, we are victims of our motivations and actions. However, since all potentialities divergent from the direction we currently seem to be heading is imaginable, I imagine the "devices" behind our condition or lack of understanding is not a permanent one- it can be changed with a sense of awareness of our cognitive functions, prejudices, and self.
Our minds aren't too narrowed yet for things to be hopeless, obviously. All you have to do is look at human imagination, and you can see that within many there is a hidden desire to rebel against the selfishness and hopelesness of the current attitude that is the norm amongst us humans.
So, is it possible to break the "fourth wall" of imagination and make people realise that thier desire for a united, peaceful world could come true if they put in some COLLECTIVE effort? I'd like to think so- but this is just my intuition talking.
Edit: Strong, great response! I agree with most of your points but they have giving me even more questions than answers, which I'll post in a short while.
