Loved your article! Have you read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn? A great book looking at the connection between food production, population growth, and the impact of that growth and as he called it, totalitarian farming, on the planet. He labeled us a taker culture while indigenous cultures were labeled leavers. One took and felt separated, , the others listened and connected. I wonder if our economic system is just a manifestation of insecurity and fear, separation and isolation, hierarchy and oppression. Your article pushes us to think about these things. Thank you 🙏
