The older I get the more I’m convinced that ‘capitalism’ is simply incompatible with life on earth. At some point we need to make a decision: exponential growth, record profits and increasing valuations… or life.
To unpack that a little: maybe the reason our species is stressing out the planet is more fundamental than what economic system we have, and grows out of human desire for social status, novelty, improvements to quality of life, etc.

I used ‘capitalism’ to refer to a set of ideals and principles we as a society believe. We totally need the rethink these ideas and principles in light of the situation before us.
