A minority of a population becomes active, and by their actions (even before _official_ change of law or institution) they change reality. Example: The black riots of the '60s. The world in which those riots occurred was a different world, institutionally, from the world in which they didn't occur. That changed the attitudes of millions of individuals. As far as I can tell there has _never_ been a really major change that did not follow this pattern.

And of course, they became active without any substantive transformation of their attitudes or values; they are either born that way or they fall like manna on their neurons.
Mutually constitutive *dynamic* causality for $200.00 please, Alex.
