I doubt humans will be able to change in time, The hope I have left is in new scientific advances that may enable us humans to keep living like parasites.

@Patym14 stopping consumption obviously, only take what we need instead of everything we like. The starting point of capitalism to be able to buy whatever you want whenever you want and as much as you want is utopia, earth doesn't provide for thisattitude. Back to basics because we havent met the basic needs of life for half the world population. A new economic system based on a changed human nature: no longer selfish interest but what's best for all?

@MartijndeGraaf1001 exactly, I agree

and I have no idea what the solution is …yet mm

[MartijndeGraaf1001]

it' a good coffee karma, lol

we need stronger and stronger excuses to keep on consuming since we are more and more aware of the disasters we cause with it.

what's the solution?

@niknak791 you're promoting fear of survival. Very dangerous idea, look what people are doing atm out of fear of survival: they destroy everything to make money. Animals, plants, trees, oceans, landscapes even their own bodies, working to many hours, too stressful jobs.

any1 here heard of RBE(Resource Based Economy)?

I think that hunger is a great motivational force. If people are forced to work for their food they will work. If they are too lazy to work then they starve. We have moved away from "Survival of the Fittest" and have adopted the attitude of "Survival of All, despite what is best for the greater good"

I’m not sure I am, and I just watched the video again in case is was. What you’re suggesting is what I was hoping the video was going to be about – corporate abuse of charitable systems, and it’s not just large corporations who abuse those systems, apparently it happens throughout some of the larger charities too.

True he does start off by exampling starbucks and organic produces, which lead you off that way, but does break into general charity, starting with quoting Oscar Wilde “ It is much more easy to have sympathy with suffering than it is with thought”

This is the point that arguingplentifully thought I was illustrating so well with my disapproval of the ideology in this video.

Zizek then goes on to say charity does not cure the problem but only prolongs it. I guess he thinks in a sense (and in some case it might even be true) that charity keeps people static in the situation they’re in. This is where I think he’s wrong, it’s an abstract thought with no real research into the physicality’s of the subject. And I think this subject can be treated as such and that such massively rounded hypotheses as his are unfair and impractical.
