Sufficiently aware is one thing, the complicated work of coexisting and organising and feeding and healing and problem solving another. Awareness of the current problems doesn't mean the ego and problems of childhood trauma ect immediately go away and we we all are lovley share and are never violent greedy or cause pain to others again. I've met some pretty toxic/narsasisric 'aware people' that talk about these things. The work of a peaceful paradise is harder than people can conceive and criticising what we have easy....of course we could be doing way better. But we also have been pretty violent and distuctive in the past....and wanting a paradise, controling pushing for it, ect isn't the way to get one, control and fear of suffering will always get in the way. Sufficiently aware isn't the same and consiousness...and maintaining consiousness is tricky.... It isn't about creating a perfect world, it's accepting this one....to shed a light on manipulation and control in our society is one thing. To expect people to be responsible for themselves and their freedom and other people in this moment is another... most of our alternative communities have serious external problems, our gatherings families, friendships and relationships with ourselves too....and we are ready to be responsible, free and do better than what we have right now....
