So interesting and commendable. What can we do to action change so that the root of the problem, poverty, is addressed, rather than the symptom? Education. I think you have to be in it for the generations that follow. Sowing seeds now might begin to have some impact one or two or three generations or more generations down the line. Start with the kids, teach them to reject capitalism and look for alternative more sustainable ways to live.

Thank you for the comment Andrea. In the next chapter, Chapter 6, on what I call the Virtuous Economy, I encourage people to understand and go beyond the straightjacket labels of capitalism, communism, or socialism - all of those constructs are based on a materialistic worldview. Looking forward to your comments!

How does nature manage an entire life support systems that upholds the integrity with agency (depending on species) of every earth-based creature? Reciprocity?

We have reached many of the same conclusions about the "seed" of our culture, supported by industrial complexes is extractive and life-killing. I'd love to pick your brain and share insights of our work. Would you find a time we can connect? https://calendly.com/debilynm/30min

why not examine the seed - it has the creative inteligence to know exactly how to grow given the soil is favorable, and here we are, no less endowed with inate creative intellegence to grow and create our world from the earth. When the world we create fails to support our well-being, we have agency to step back and re examine the seed and soil it needs to thrive in ...and then write a new story, maybe this time aligned with Nature - our true nature, where the stock market exchange on the Wood-Wide-Web 'profit shares' with the planet

Great insights and I love your symbiotic network approach as it mimics how the earth's wood-wide-web manages the planets life support, which is why it works - it's in our DNA (Divine Nature Access code) to see our true nature as nature, so we think with nature/as nature and story /solutions make sense, they fit the environment we can breathe in.
