I am with philosopher Slavoj Zizek when he says “do not blame people and their attitudes. The problem is not corruption or greed, the problem is the system that pushes you to be corrupt.” I am also with Lyla June’s mum when she tells us that “you think you know what it is to be human, but you don't. All you know is how a human behaves in a power-over paradigm. But what if you were to plug that human being into a completely different paradigm?” Pat McCabe is right. We do not actually know what unmanipulated and uncoerced humans might do about our planetary predicament, but now would be a good time find out.
