“Our economic system and our planetary system are now at war. Or, more accurately, our economy is at war with many forms of life on earth, including human life. What the climate needs to avoid collapse is a contraction in humanity’s use of resources; what our economic model demands to avoid collapse is unfettered expansion. Only one of these sets of rules can be changed, and it’s not the laws of nature.”
― Naomi Klein
@Fionnbharr Contraction would do no good. Getting back into caves would only breed suffering from all-natural causes and then extinction from a perfectly natural catastrophe (100% certified human-free!).
There's a coordination problem, all right. But if we manage to climb out of the cradle on the bottom of our gravity well, then there's abundance for everyone, free and clean.
