Burning Question of the Day


Is free market capitalism our revenge against nature?

Is it just an elaborate suicide machine, one that we've all hypnotized ourselves to believe in, a relentless machine designed to consume all of our resources, (turn us into consumers too), cashing them all into money or "profit" (a poor substitute for the wonders of nature), which ultimately, inevitably leads to death - man, civilization, planet?

Bonus question - is death our secret desire? Or is it because nature promises rebirth, but not immortality for our fragile egos, that we secretly want to destroy nature?

Just asking...
