I've had exactly the same thoughts for a while now! We talk a lot in this field about how good work in this space needs to be relational and how important relationships are, and social impact runs counter to that, it points to a "silver bullet" solution that happens in a discrete moment, and fixes the problem. But that's not actually how social change works in my experience; it takes as long as people do to change, and relationships based on trust and understanding do to develop. I really like gardening and growth metaphors in this space. https://medium.com/y-impact/design-foundations-for-systems-capital-22c5fb094824

I really like Yunus Centre's framing of "increasing systems health" which comes from that systems thinking background. Nice work in naming this problematic issue so well!
