At the level of the political-economy run by those few who control both nation states and the private sector, they actively want chaos to benefit from it through business as usual clamping the fist ever tighter. At the level of the shrinking middle class, they inadvertently contribute by being unaware that they are ruled by fear.
Can’t see any solution other than a preemptive authentic spiritual revival and allowing automatic processes to accelerate collapse while simultaneously protecting vital non-negotiable irreplaceable ecosystems.
