Yes. We have spent generations optimizing for growth, efficiency, profit, and consumption while neglecting the very things that make life worth living.
Any meaningful reset begins with different questions.
Not: How much more can we accumulate?
But: What should never be sacrificed?
Not: What is profitable?
But: What is worth protecting?
Not: What can be owned?
But: What belongs to all of us?
For most of human history, people understood that some things existed beyond markets and transactions. Children. Water. Community. Trust. Truth. The natural world. The future itself. These were not commodities to be exploited but responsibilities to be stewarded.
Perhaps the work before us is not building something entirely new, but remembering what we once knew: that some things are sacred, and a healthy society is measured by how well it protects them and its own citizens.
This. This. And more this. A complete reset of your internal hard drive and viewing the evidence with an objective blank slate is the only path forward.
P.S. while painful, it will make the past and present make sense and provide a foundation for focused efforts!
