Existing institutions have outlived their usefulness. Sanity and survival requires us to change our ways. Fortunately, the rat race is horrible and our current values suck. The change will be a huge improvement.
We live in a society that values greed and selfishness and excuses cruelty in the name of productivity. This society views Life and Nature as worthless except as a resource to be exploited.
Imagine a world where we DON'T waste our lives producing and purchasing piles of disposable crap. Imagine us LIVING our lives instead of wasting them, only producing healthy food, medicine and other actual necessities. We would spend most of our time doing actual human and meaningful things—what we derisively call "hobbies" today, because they are done for pleasure, not profit. We'd talk to each other and enjoy each other's company instead of staring at our phones. We'd write, draw, create art, tell stories. We'd walk in Nature and sit quietly together and enjoy sunsets.
We wouldn't do what we are doing now which is marking time until we die. We'd be SANE.
