It isn't only climate disruption that's a monumental problem, or biodiversity loss, or soil degradation, or toxics in our environment, or the overharvesting of fisheries and forests. Nor is it only the loss of kelp forests and coral, or viral disease spread, or acidification of the ocean, or the worldwide debt bubble, or the lack of job security, or the Rat Race of the pursuit of infinite growth on a finite planet, or social inequality, or an economic playing field that isn't level, or racism. Nor is it only the decades-long problem of nuclear waste storage, or the threat of nuclear weapons, or ongoing perpetual war. Nor is it only overconsumption of goods, or overpopulation, or food insecurity, or societal disintegration, or habitat destruction, or the lack of ethics in uncounted situations. Finally, nor is it only the Edward Bernays style propaganda coming from the State-Corporate-Military-Financial Complex. Unfortunately for us, it's all the above...and more.
There is a way to get off that path. We can have a sustainable future in which life on Earth not only survives, but thrives as well. Getting there will be a tough row to hoe. That's mostly because, in general, we humans – particularly in developed countries - have been indoctrinated to believe numerous false concepts. To get where we need to be will require a paradigm shift in ethics, values, and our worldview in general.
