Challenge Global Insanity

If you feel unable to cope with the pace of socio-cultural change or reconcile obvious contradictions and feel social and personal injustices have grown rather than shrunk over the last 30 years of neoliberal economic globalisation with an unprecedented rate of cultural change and social engineering, then you maybe you are not mad, society is. Opinion leaders in the prosperous world herald material growth and greater reliance on technology as progress. Opponents of material growth are lampooned as luddites, conservatives and green fascists. Yet if the advocates of eternal material growth based their economic theories on hard science, they'd understand that what may go wrong will go wrong. It's only a matter of time, for sixty years of mass consumerism is but a short chapter in the history of humanity
