Hello, and thanks for your feedback!

In a way I wish that the whole covid situation would help with a broader cultural shift - that more and more people would come to realize that abstract "economy" can't be put above nature. That the boundaries, the context, the realities set by nature are more pressing and more real than the demands of economical austerity and profit. Instead of trying to bend natural world to meet the demands of the economy we'd better seek ways to reshape the economy to better meet the physical, ecological, psychological, social and spiritual reality.

(Yes, I know the concept of "spiritual reality" is something a lot of people would debate. I'm not going into the details in this comment, so I only say this: I try to refer to the human need of 'meaning', the human aspiration for 'higher values'. I think we run into trouble if we deny that human need.)

Oh well. And, also, here my intention is not say simply that "money is bad", or that "we should ditch the austerity", but what I mean is some kind of quest for such a way of life which would support the mental and physical well-being of humans and the planet (instead of merely utilizing humans and the rest of nature as resources, like our modern economy seems to do).
