If that's what you want, Wojtek, your course of action is clear: do nothing.
The system is already partially or completely dysfunctional.

Three Mile Island
Chernobyl
The former Soviet Union
Y2K
The financial crisis in Asia
the massacre in Chiapas
"it's not a bug, it's a feature"

The problem with simply allowing the dysfunctionality of the system to
unfold is that it just keeps unfolding and unfolding. "The trouble with
normal is it only gets worse." Dysfunctional is normal to the system. The
attitude can be relatively harmless fun as long as it's little more than Sex
Pistol Punks shooting up and killing each other. It gets rather tiresome on
a global scale.
