This gets into some critically important ground that needs further exploration. Caitlin rarely emphasizes the environmental crises bearing down on us, which are more important than all the social and international justice stuff she focuses on--but those don't get enough play from the honest perspective she takes, and are closely connected to the environmental crises--it's about a culture based on domination trying to devour everything in its path.

Nate Hagens has done a series of interviews on what he calls The Great Simplification, many of them well worth watching/listening. But his flaw in my opinion, is a notion that the current human behavior driving all this is inherent, that all creatures strive to maximize energy use--he doesn't recognize the degree to which a minority of powerful sociopaths--and the narrative they craft and push-- are driving all this. And that there IS an alternative, that humans are not inherently hung up on maximizing consumption Here Caitlin hints that this element of the dominant culture, first of all was deliberately crafted by Bernays et al, to keep the economy going strong, and secondly has a lot to do with EGO. That can use some further exploration.
