> Today, as the planet hurtles towards environmental and societal breakdown, brought about by the interlinked vectors of global warming, biodiversity loss, species extinctions and the spread of new pathogens, it is becoming ever more evident that modernity was founded on a profoundly mistaken understanding of the world, and that the elevation of humans above all other species, and indeed the Earth itself, has had disastrous consequences for humanity as well as all other living Beings.

A behavioural crisis is driving ecological overshoot and threatens the fabric of complex life on Earth

"We explore three drivers of the behavioural crisis in depth: economic growth; marketing; and pronatalism. These three drivers directly impact the three ‘levers’ of overshoot: consumption, waste and population...The evidence indicates that anthropogenic ecological overshoot stems from a crisis of maladaptive human behaviours...We have in place to deliver a framework for shifting social norms and other necessities for addressing the behavioural crisis."
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00368504231201372

"Where discussion of climate often centres on carbon emissions,
a focus on overshoot highlights the materials usage, waste output and growth of human society, all of which affect the Earth’s biosphere. Just one-quarter of the world population is responsible for nearly three-quarters of emissions...Solutions that do not tackle the underlying drivers of our growth-based economies will only exacerbate the overshoot crisis."

"The system is driving us to suicide. It’s conquest, entitlement, misogyny, arrogance and it comes in a fetid package driving us to the abyss.”

Jonathan Haidt explains the similarities between the downfall of the tower of Babel and society today.

It's an interesting and persuasive article.
