@aral it is "our system", our system is fundamentally broken yes.
Just because one is able to criticize it doesn't mean we're outside of said system.
Even if we reject it, even at 100% doesn't make said system disappear, its injustices keep breeding new forms of exploitation.
Our only way out is to migrate all values out of said system and build parallel until it becomes the norm without the pitfalls?
Is it even doable? Honest question.
@rmdes @aral I think humanity is at a crux point. Capitalism rewards the individualism that makes evolution work, to the point where individualism is no longer held sufficiently in check by broader environment - until the environment changes. Yet we all love being individuals, especially all of us in the west. Rich or not, it's the biggest question - can we shake off that innate urge to "do well for ourself", to acquire status, to be alpha humans?
