You look at this global economic system and think its broken and needs to be repaired. I look at this global economic system and think it’s doing exactly what it was designed to do and needs to be replaced.
I hope you’re right and I’m wrong. Our many species threatening crises would be a lot easier to address, and us humans, we love the idea of easy. But that economy through its proponents has been claiming to be the sole entity that can solve all the problems it’s created for those 40+ years of being unshackled from meaningful regulation, and the problems of inequity, corruption, regulatory/governmental capture, exploitation, and oh yeah the very air we all COMMUNally breath have only gotten significantly more dire as a direct result of market actions, and those markets have only entrenched themselves deeper into the decision making processes of the world governments once meant to keep them in check once upon a time.
You say brain-rot is the cause, but I say this system is designed to cause that brain-rot. It turns regular people into practicing sociopaths.
It’s all academic though. You can’t get the market capitalists to suddenly be nice, consider how their actions effect others, and think about how everyone can win, and I can’t lower them into acid. They’re gonna do what they’re gonna do, because capital is power and they have almost all of it. No matter what you or I believe, their madness and destruction of civilization and Earth’s biome will proceed.
I mean, I believe that capitalism has outlived it’s usefulness and has few answers to the problems we face. I simply also believe that the system itself isn’t optimized for a zero-sum mentality.
