What’s good for business
Nobody asked me, but
I think a good, next goal for our profit-is-god Economics
is to recognize & stop selling
1) a better you can be bought,
2) judge others / fear strangers.
What we need to be DOING, especially today, is EMBRACING our-selves. Teaching and building that skill set. First, as individuals, and extending it inward and outward as best we can.
We live in arms-race Capitalism:
“Everyone” trying to keep up / get rich because why…? Arms-races reinforce 1&2, constantly. I’m not saying rich is bad. I’m saying how do we use it, so many of us have extra money.
We want brighter-future Capitalism:
Big investments in our potential, which solve crises & alleviate hopelessness, for real. We want Kinship (“everyone’s important in a nurturing community”) culture. We want Exciting future.
Probably the most exciting thing in the world is to know you’re making a difference on solving real problems. Certainly the best feelings are kinship-secure ones.
Let’s sell that: kinship & problem-solving.
