Πάν μέτρον άριστον. As they used to say. Everything in moderation. All of those things you mention arise on a societal level when the values that were once the guiding principle disappear. My thesis is that capitalism is eating itself by neglecting to appropriately allocate resources in cultural progression, instead it focuses solely on efficiency, and technological advancement.

Wouldn't be far fetched for the humans of our age to be seen as the generation of hubris by a less technologically advanced but ultimately surviving culture in the future.

We need to get our shit together and offer the people in the west a vision worth living for, or we will all happily turn into AI-made paperclips



Great comment. I am big fan of warm capitalism. It means you don’t choose for the cheapest, but the most sustainable.
