Did he mean that philosophy could change the world, or that philosophers should turn to the higher priority of changing the world?

In that broad sense, philosophy can play a role, indeed an essential role, in changing the world.”

“I am not sure who lied to my people that the only time you will get your chance or turn to eat Is only through corruption.
The way we support, vote, believe, and cheer for corruption, and corrupt leaders, not only that but we also queue up for our turn to eat.
Yet we know that corruption has bad and negative effects on our community, lives, and country.
To stop corruption starts with you by stopping believing that you will only benefit and live a good life through corruption,
and stopping supporting leaders who are corrupt because you want to benefit.”
