The way I see it, the world -- at least the way in which we humans can make sense out if it -- is essentially a function of its own information system; predominantly, the world wide web.
It therefore doesn't take too much of a jump to make the argument that perhaps the best method of making the world better is by way of improving on the current state of affairs in the realm of web development.
To that end, I have been working on a project called "Linux on the Web" for nearly 5 years now.
It can be found here: https://linuxontheweb.appspot.com
It is currently a prototype that requires a fully capable, fairly recent Chromium-based browser.
To understand the fundamentals, I created this youtube video earlier this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tl8I8YcH7g
In the video, I start doing streaming of the actual system at around the 17 minute mark. Before then, you must suffer through some philosophical hand-wavery.
