Our sole, shared environment is COMMUNal.
Market Capitalism requires infinite growth/metastasis on a finite world of finite resources. Its very nature is as impossible as one pulling themselves up by their bootstraps.
IF humanity cared about its own future, it doesn't btw, we'd be focused on shrinking humanity's footprint significantly over the next few generations to find homeostasis/equilibrium with this world, the only world we will ever encounter as a species that is naturally hospitable to us.
But that's a non starter. Not only will we not do that, but we will refuse to so much as temper our reckless growth/metastasis, even in the face of oblivion.
It's darkly hilarious how many unwashed peasants, losers of this rigged global economy, still RAGE against the concept of an economy that focuses on having everyone's basic needs met sustainably, because there would be no room for the super yachts and private jets they would never be allowed aboard anyway under such an economy.
We're literally gambling with our own extinction, and losing, in the name of "but someday I might be rich. And then people like me better watch their step!" It's the height of pathetic.
Thank you, sometimes I feel like the only person who thinks like this and it's refreshing to be reminded I'm not.
Similarly, I don't understand the human obsession with constantly increasing the world population... as if that isn't inherently a bad thing. Isn't it obvious a finite pizza of fixed size cut into more slices means less pizza per person?
