          You’re right to say that the current trajectory is unsustainable. The idea that we are all on our own in an indifferent society will also not last if the dominoes keep falling in the way they are.

          People will step up and build something sustainable instead of continuing to empower and feed the rich in their pursuit to dominate every aspect of our lives.
