Arvind VenkataramaniIt really feels living under current planetary systems is a constant unending stream of “curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!” moments.
What are we even doing.
Material systems and consumption is hugely wasteful AND simultaneously unpleasant
Pointless food and housing scarcity
Easily avoidable deaths at scale
Complex systems teetering on precarity for most people
Fragile supply chains
Basic social contracts under threat
Completely borked information flows
People experiencing a loss of future but can’t even name it
Financial ineffiencies everywhere you look
…
No wonder so many people are just wrung out and checked out.
What a waste.
