I am completely sympathetic to everything written here. At the same time, seeking to have various policies and programs adopted in many different places in the time available for effecting sufficient change to save this planet from an ecological disaster is a second-best approach.

The total time and energy necessary to accomplish that is more than the time and energy it would take to get the existing economic system changed as a system. In that context, it is fortunate that almost every nation on this planet now has the same basic system, a central-bank monetary system coupled with a (more or less) market-based economy.

Of course, changing the system must be politically more feasible than those programs and policies are. Also, it would only be a good idea if a change to the system would accomplish enough to prevent the looming cataclysm.

I have developed a paradigm that I think exceeds all of those criteria. The only thing it lacks is advocates.

For Crying Out Loud, ACCEPT That A SOLUTION Actually EXISTS” (a “3 min read” — including options for further reading — here in Medium)

Knowing how long I have been touting this idea and how much good it could already be doing — especially in the current situation — has put my frustration in hyper-drive.
