I'd argue that it's not enough to focus just on identifying and eliminating the negatives and those aspects of life that cause harm and "mental illness". Social scientists, innovators, and plain ordinary citizen visionaries and activists need also to focus on and try to identify what makes for positive social environments in which to live, grow, and change.
And then -- how can we create or encourage those environments?
