You need to change the way that humans interact with and relate to the power structures in their lives and to do that you need to change the power structures first. Power structures are stimuli that cause the populace to react in certain ways, and to keep them static or to alter them in ways that keep the mentality of the old structures will simply result in the same reactions from the populace. This is why capitalism doesn't work as a stimuli for social mobility. It encourages the same stratified concepts of social status that existed in centuries past while paying lip service to opportunity, which is why all those lazy, stupid people stay lazy and stupid.
