Love this. We need to fit ourselves into natural systems. Sunrise-sunset. Tide in-tide out. Tree grows- tree dies, and returns to the earth for the next tree to grow. Our species is nothing but a blip in the geologic record, a hiccup in time. This is the only way we survive in the long term.
Great synthesis that outlines the problem and solution set. Daniel Schmachtenberger did something similar on his blog years ago: https://civilizationemerging.com/new-economics-series-1/ but we need to go beyond an outline, we need a detailed plan for a new viable system that we an transition to. That's where Credtism comes in, it's a non-debt based system that invests in Life and regeneration: Common-Planet.org. Update and official launch coming soon.
Excellent piece. Now we need a new framework so that we can rethink success. Because as long as shareholders and markets demand growth and growth remains a definition for success, nothing will change.
It is brilliantly written! Thanks very much!

Love this - so simple and elegant.
