the rest of the world, instead of being consumers of useless things, could pivot to be consumers of wellbeing goods and services, clean energy, and just better lives.
The richest companies and people in the world should be the ones that provide the most human value to society, the best health, the most content people, the maximisation of human beauty and joy.
It is never going to happen.
I also think that this will never happen, but essentially for reasons of numbers. There will never be a large enough number of people who believe in a development model in which those who bring greater wealth to the population are rewarded for it. And since the imposed greed of those who normally have greater visibility POISONS those who are below and yearn for a better life, the model we currently have IMPRISONS the minds and often the bodies of those who try to do things differently.
As I have said before, it can't come from the top down, for that very reason. It has to be ground up, where the consumer habits change. Unlikely.
This world could be awesome. Unfortunately, we are a ridiculous species.
I have a very big dream... even if it won't happen in your grandchildren's lifetime, I believe that humanity will one day evolve. And it will find the true path. There is always a light in the midst of darkness. For now, that light is nothing more than the light of a few matches being lit here and there... But one day, those matches will turn into a true star!
