the greatest paradox of these times seems to be the fact that we, as a human species have made it but we think we’re in crisis.we produce more food than we need, we have more housing than we need, we have medical knowledge that could keep us healthy.though the current political and public tenor is, that we are getting poor, we enter crisis, we need to be more productive and our intellect can’t resolve it, so we need to generate it artificially etc.
