I agree with the article completely, the only thing that is missing is the correct diagnosis of the patient.

Indeed the current cure is making the problem worse, indeed the costumers, and also all the nations are zombies, only the previous momentum carrying the world economy on, as even the fastest growing nations are slowing down and gradually screeching to a halt.

All the treatment at the moment is aimed at the misdiagnosed symptoms, none of them addressing the root cause.

The problem is that our whole lifestyle, socio-economic model is based on a misunderstanding, an illusion: that constant quantitative growth is possible in a closed, interconnected, interdependent and finite living system.

Our approach, function and direction is exactly the same how cancer cells work and destroy the whole body.

It was not fully obvious before because humanity has not evolved into this global, closed network until recently, and we haven't exhausted the natural and human resources with this reckless, excessive and harmful model yet, but now we have passed peak points in both respects.

Our whole life is based around producing and consuming goods that are simply unnecessary and harmful for ourselves and for the natural environment we live in. This vicious cycle is maintained by a sophisticated brainwashing marketing system and the subsequent social pressure. This model has nothing to do, is way beyond true necessities and available resources.

Our present treatment is based on trying to encourage the cancer cells to grow even more thus increasing the ill effects instead of curing them.

The crisis, the sluggish consumption, the gradual collapse of the present system is actually the natural cure, as the vast natural system we live in and is based on unbreakable natural laws of general balance, simply "removes" the foreign body from the system. There is nothing mystical about it, as our biological body rejects harmful parts, foreign bodies, as our immune system tries continually repairing ill body systems, the natural living ecosystem human society has become "self repairs". It has done so even before, but so far we evolved through violent, forced revolutions, wars when the actual state has become intolerable and we simply had to move on. If we allow for such involuntary evolutionary step to happen today, with the vast nuclear arsenal around with the multiple flash-points all over the globe, with itchy fingers over the buttons the violent next step could become fully destructive.

Humanity has accumulated enough knowledge and experience and wisdom to take the next evolutionary step with full awareness, with the knowledge of the true situation and working out the proper cure.

But first we need to acknowledge the real disease, we have to look into the mirror instead of putting our heads into the sand.
