I think your assessment of the situation is correct. What are we to do?

My humanist side somewhow desire that genes have less difference than some scientist conjecture in terms of race difference for social problems. I really want that all the problems be just culture values. But I must also be rational and accept that we need science research to be able to tell it that's true or not, instead of judge just by my feelings.
In addition to Uncle Jordan, pay attention to R. Buckminster Fuller.

Think of it. We are blessed with technology that would be indescribable to our forefathers. We have the wherewithal, the know-it-all to feed everybody, clothe everybody, and give every human on Earth a chance. We know now what we could never have known before - that we now have the option for all humanity to make it successfully on this planet in this lifetime. Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go relay race right up to the final moment.

Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren't any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the first place.
____________
In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete.
____________
You cannot change how someone thinks, but you can give them a tool to use which will lead them to think differently.
____________
If humanity does not opt for integrity we are through completely. It is absolutely touch and go. Each one of us could make the difference.
There's pages of this stuff! Of course, some of it is a little harder to live up to

And there's the always popular:

The vector equilibrium is the true zero reference of the energetic mathematics. Zero pulsation in the vector equilibrium is the nearest approach we will ever know to eternity and god: the zero phase of conceptual integrity inherent in the positive and negative asymmetries that propagate the differentials of consciousness.

It seems that truth is progressive approximation in which the relative fraction of our spontaneously tolerated residual error constantly diminishes.
