I agree with you completely, but as a technologist, with my viewpoint formed from formal Systems Analysis (Tempered with an interest in religions, including ancient multi-deity tribal religions from Africa), I believe our technology can and will be integrated with nature as needed, by getting rid of the system of profit.

I think we can and will do that, forced by nature, it manifests for now as inflation which will continue to become unmanageable until the required changes are made.

To me it looks like humanity is at a point similar to the shoot of a tree, at the point it first starts to shoot leaves. Until that point, the tree shoot, and us, have taken all of our energy from Earth. After that point, the energy flow through the tree shoot changes direction, from upwards (Extracted from Earth), to downwards (Driven by the donated energy of the sun), thus coming to align with the energy of the sun to Earth.

We have just started to form our human equivalents of leaves, in the form of solar farms all over Earth, and money performs the same function in humanity as nutrients in the tree, it transports energy.

To date our money use by structure is extractive, since the energy sources of Earth require extraction to obtain the energy, whereas from the sun it comes donated, pushed to us for free, no promises to pay or to extract needed.

So the way we handle money has to change, from money issued on debt, to money issued on the donated energy.

That means it has to be issued for free to all people.

We saw something like this happen previouisly when 4Tn per month stimulus was issued in US, we saw oil prices go negative and a stack of other great results including the only positive spike of recovery seen in the environment. I call it "Kardasehev Money", for want of a better term, and the study of all things around the concept, a kind of specialism of Systems Engineering; "Kardashev Engineering".

I think the only thing preventing us being born as a species at last united towards the common goal of furthering humanity, and therefore receiving the highest rewards, is faith that this can and will happen.

Hence my reason for writing in Medium, to try to assist folk to see this, like yours seems to be also to see it from a more spiritual point of view

I think our thinking is very complementary, it all meshes perfectly towards the same world, it seems to me, most importantly, we are learning how to mesh science and spirituality, because that is what we need to do, to achieve the result needed; a fully solar powered humanity in the same way as nature is fully solar powered.

We might say that nature is the grand authority. Her currency is energy. The only issuer and enforcer of it is the sun. We must use it, or burn, literally.
