Well, what I mean by that is that the dystopia didn’t last that long. A solid majority of people who helped rebuild were people who had lived through and been part of society before the disaster. A large populace with an understanding what a solid society looks like, all of which were accustomed to that life, makes it not hard to convince, nor does it require a whole lot of change to make it happen, compared to building a society out of, say, a world that had lived in dystopia for centuries or longer.

@Valiance

Even if everyone has a different idea of how society is supposed to be?

It's not difficult under certain conditions. A strong backbone for societal structure, a physically strong military force for defense and peacekeeping, good incentives for not pursuing a dystopic life.

@Valiance

The first one I think is the hardest part. Not that I've ever built a civilization.

A good army of robots can do wondrous things. I heard of a much more miraculous example in the form of a Waternaux City, pretty recently.

@Valiance

Even for managing and governing people out of chaos?

Our technological prowess and ingenuity is very difficult to match, period. Lots of smart cookies and technology to speed things along.

@Valiance

Even with tech, people are still people. How’d you get around the logistics of that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

It's basically done.

@Valiance

That was fast. How’d they pull that off?

It's not category exclusive. Restricting yourself with that kind of mentality just means you're limiting what you're actually affecting.

@Valiance

I see. Was the rebuilding process going well when you left your world?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

It's all circumstantial. Depends on whatever it is your dealing with. Just doing the most you possibly can is the only real way to answer that question.

@Valiance

Community level? Interpersonal? Planetary?

Helping people with their problems and being a good person is harder than being a bad person, is what I'm saying.

@Valiance

Sure. I was mainly asking about what you think makes a big splash vs. a small one.

Oh, but it's fun to be a part of. Leaving the biggest marks you can as often as you can, and as many places as you can. Positive ones, of course. It's way easier to leave a negative mark.

@Valiance

Positive marks like what?

You could stretch it out to fill up a hundred years, I'll tell you that much.

@Valiance

It does sound like you’ve lived through more than your fair share of history.
