Amazing

Pinchbeck references a lot of cool ideas here that I hadn’t heard of before like vertical farming and time banking. I’m glad to have come across those. But the prophetic tone and references to his own spiritual journey get tiresome. This type of book (one that tries to sum up all the problems in the world and also prescribe solutions) should be written by many people, not by one—and especially not another white guy.

We need to work together as a species to save the planet from global destruction. Pure annihilation awaits us all if we tread the currently path inerrant. There's nothing we can do now, except to shift our core beliefs and understanding of the world and nature as we know it.

We need, as a people, to switch to more resource sensitive ways of living in the world, or face global annihilation in the near future. However, the top 1%, who use 50% of the 80% of emissions (emitted by just 20% of the modern population ), may be reluctant to do so. Instead, they cut down more forestry to make more money and profit by fueling capitalism.

Basically we all need to collectively wake up in order to save the planet Earth. We could have subconsciously induced this crisis in order to trigger more effort. Humans could develop a new psychic ability via evolution or intuition by reading sensory information.
