Yes, you can and will change the world.
What does it mean to change the world?
One of the ways to change the world is through media. For example, FIGHT CLUB. I read the book, and I also watch the movie, and actually prefer the movie one? Written stories are great, but, when you add visuals, real human faces, a story line, audiovisual, etc., it heightens and elevates the message.
For example, to see how gangster Tyler Durden is, and how gangster it is to NOT own a car. Societal critiques through movies and media is transformative. For example, the original MATRIX.
Create your own media
A very simple way to change the world is to create your own media. A simple formula is spend 90% of your time creating media, and only 10% of your time consuming media. Or better yet, spend 99% of your effort creating, and only 1% of your time consuming media.
Why change the world?
I think part of it is an innate human love of humanity.
