Is this really a crisis? Or is it only a crisis because we've built the global economy around the idea that "number go up" forever? Growth at all costs, even cooking the planet, is central to capitalist mindset that dominates the world.

We're also currently devoting an absurd amount of resources developing technology aimed at replacing as much human labor as possible. All this while Western culture continues to indoctrinate us with the belief that our lives are meaningless without the jobs they are also trying to eliminate.
