6/ In a sound money environment, the precise incentives recognised as problematic today are reversed. In such an environment, the market — which would then be genuinely free because it would not have a structural bias — would naturally align with long-term, sustainable practices.
We all strive for the same goal: a sustainable planet. However, the notion that "if we could all just unite this one time for the common goal of saving the planet" may be inspiring but is insufficient if it assumes that a single central entity, if only given full mandate, can outsmart the collective intelligence of all the world's citizens with a “wave of its magic wand”.
The concept of unity by concentrating power in one central entity overlooks how every organism on Earth has adapted to an unpredictable future for billions of years, as it is akin to putting all eggs in the same basket. Survival, whether for mosquitoes, elephants, or humans, has never depended on uniform agreement — that is an impossible standard to meet that only ends up in compromises and insufficient actions — but rather on embracing diversity of thought, allowing free agents to act autonomously in their respective environments.
The point is that we must restore the economic environment in which the marketplace of ideas operates; only then will the full collective intelligence of the world's citizens be directed towards our better judgement. In fact, by doing so, we automatically activate and lever the entire world population towards the goal of environmental sustainability.
