AT WHICH POINT OF TECHNOLOGICAL EVOLUTION DOES THE NEEDS TO HAVE GREATER ORGANISATION OF SOCIETIES BEYOND SIMPLE MUTUAL AID?
IS THERE A NEED TO MAKE PROFITS IN ORDER TO EVOLVE TO THE NEXT STEP OF WHAT WE WANT, BEYOND WHAT WE NEED? DO WE NEED WARS?
DO WE UNDERSTAND THE IMPLICATION OF DEBT? IS DEBT NECESSARY ON A GREATER SCALE TO SUPPLY PROFITS FOR CORPORATIONS AND WAGES TO THE PEOPLE? IS DEBT A BURDEN ON THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT?
ARE WE ADDICTED TO PROGRESS? ARE WE ADDICTED TO STYLISTIC CONSUMPTION, BEYOND SURVIVAL?
