Wow, how do you get the moniker "all around big thinker" -pretty impressive. I agree that "people rise to the occasion when they are given the means". The problem that we currently have is that we don't give the "means" to the disenfranchised... we give the "ends". To use an old, tired metaphor, "people never learn to swim when you keep throwing them life preservers". Down with the welfare state... up with the wellness state. -I have no idea what that means, but seems appropriate.
