Why are we so addicted to #growth? Is growth a necessary feature (or flaw) of #capitalism?
In short, yes. One of the causes is our financial system that promotes and depends on increasing growth. Without growth, how can we pay off the ever-rising debt that even the wealthiest, most prosperius countries keep piling on?
We need to design systems (political, economic, etc.) to break this reliance, this addiction to growth.
We call for the development of a new restorative pathway scenario. It would involve significantly bending not just some, but all of the curves in figure 1 with a minimal need to rely on #CarbonCapture technologies. The scenario would also focus on reducing the consumption of primary resources to keep environmental pressures within planetary boundaries."
Let's slow environmental destruction and achieve climate adaptation
"The planned 114 new fossil fuel developments threaten not only the climate, but also these very planetary life support systems that enable survival in an increasingly turbulent world. Our policies, regulations and development decisions are enabling new shale oil and gas, LNG, coal and petrochemical industries"
Embrace change and new beginnings by setting intentions for growth. Focus on self-reflection to understand your path better. Practice kindness and openness to adapt smoothly to life's ebbs and flows.
I came across David Sinclair and his research into reverse aging. Especially, I came across this video by Veritasium with Sinclair. Apparently his team has managed to reverse aging in mice in a lab? Has this been peer reviewed?...

I'm very excited to announce the first column of my "Decay Theory" series for Atlas Obscura. This one's about the death of the suburban American shopping mall. It's easy to write off the closure of malls as the result of online shopping - but their fate was likely sealed years before Amazon became the brick and mortar shredding juggernaut it is today. Here's the link! https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-life-and-death-of-the-suburban-american-mall

An important commentary, published in distinguished scientific journal 'Nature'.
"GDP was never designed to measure societal well-being — only market production and consumption. ...... The misuse of GDP as a policy goal is driving societies towards an unsustainable future that benefits an increasingly small proportion of the population while impoverishing the vast majority"
