I believe personally that society on a fundamental level is falling prey to the idea of "Me me me" where capital accumulation is prioritized over happiness and freedom, and unchecked it is causing our society to crumble and splinter. Just look at the fall of Twitter and the RHEL drama going on as simple examples. The mentality that should be how we govern society is that of the Social contract: " I give up my right to be a greedy asshole so I get representation in government, college, healthcare and the resources needed to enjoy positive freedom". I propose this in place of the capitalist idea of self interest and of social darwinism. Cooperation and the democratic decentralization of power is the key to solving the world's problems and maybe getting off of this rock one day before the sun blows up.
