You bring up some interesting points. I'm rather new to SteemIt and still just looking around. I'd like to start a conversation on the the need to rapidly rethink our values on a global scale. Since the 30's we are consuming Earth's resources faster than they can regenerate. Today this consumption has reached 1.7 Earth Planets per year and our environment is degrading fast. We have now a very narrow window of time to evolve to a sustainable planetary civilisation that might have a future, or watch all life on Earth disappear as our atmosphere slowly starts to resemble that of Venus. The 6th extinction is well under way and we might not be spared for long.
To come back to the post above, the quality of our lives starts with informed decisions and we are ourselves the only ones responsible for the filtering and interpreting the information we receive. It is now more important than ever to assume this responsibility.
