The Goal of Life is Not to Survive It | Charles Eisenstein

With climate change and biodiversity loss worsening every day, we're all asking ourselves: will humanity survive?

But what if that's the wrong question?

No matter how bad things get, some affluent portion of humanity will likely survive.

The real question we need to ask is: what kind of world do we want to create?

Do we want to live in a world teeming with life? Or are we okay with a world where VR is the only way for our grandchildren to experience what once was?

"The goal of life is not to survive it." - Charles Eisenstein
