Well put. FWIW - I've been reading Graeber and Wengrow's The Dawn of Everything, as well as Charles Mann's 1491. These both (especially the first) affirm that humans can, individually and as a group, operate with very different sets of priorities than what currently dominates, and heck, don't even need markets in order to thrive (what a concept!). These books are a welcome distraction and a peek into a conduit to sanity.
