»…we are beset with the ideology of maximising having while minimising doing. this has long been capitalism’s narrative and is now also technology’s. it is an ideology that steals from us relationships and connections and eventually our selves.«

Earlier this year, I made two trips to Sudan, where a terrible civil war has displaced 14 million people. The state is absent, international institutions are weak. Outside powers, motivated by greed and nihilism, have stepped into the vacuum, amplifying the conflict. In Sudan, the liberal world order has ended, and nothing has replaced it.

Trump has done the same damage to our health, environment and security as to our markets, it's just that there isn't a stock ticker that measures the impact so clearly
