What is this "something"?

Hallo everyone.
It hase been stated in the article that "(...) Something within the human system is preventing change to a sustainable mode of behavior. (...)".
Well... what is this "something"?
Maybe some clues could come frome the article about "The Corporation" documentary.
What about adding a "See also" section with a link to that article?
'Comments are welcome'.
Thanks for reading me.

The next sentence calls the "something" systemic change resistance which I understand to mean the 'inertia' any system--physical, social, psychological (that is, human)--has to maintain its current state.

The property has something to do with the law of action and equal opposite reaction. Obviously the reaction can be overcome otherwise no change in the world would be possible.

I am a self-taught systems thinker so the above may be incorrect.

By the way, thwink.org is a website with some good content.
