This hits hard really. Humans really are species that pride themselves on progress, yet we keep creating systems that harm us more than they help us. The profit-driven mindset sits at the center of it all, pushing us toward behaviors that weaken our health, our environment, and our communities.
And you’re right, if even a fraction of that energy went into building solutions that actually clean, heal, and protect us, the world would look very different. But expecting governments or the powerful to lead that shift is almost impossible when they’re tied so tightly to profit themselves. Currently here in the Philippines it's very chaotic. The government says they don't want corruption but the leaders are the real corruption masterminds.
