I have a question -- do you have a fixed rallying point that would make people accept it?

If not you, you have the same problem as all those other viable ideas out there, because some people simply won't agree with you even when they will literally sit in their houses on fire. So, you will always have those gazillion factions and opinions how to go about it. Some will panic, some will try to salvage what can be salvaged, some will maniacally laugh having a great doomsday party.

The question IMO is not what to do -- we know what to do -- the question is how to cause a "paradigm shift." That is, how to make people accept that changes are necessary. Doomsday fear won't cut it.

But yes, when shit hits the fan and majority of humanity goes the way of dinosaurs, survivors will definitely reevaluate their priorities and come to their senses. That, however, is the worst case scenario not even worth discussing. After all, why? In that case the situation will correct itself without our lengthy discussions on social media.

Look at it this way -- even you see that late-stage capitalism (which is just the latest incarnation of uninterrupted continuation of Sumerian model of civilization) is the obvious culprit and yet, you too "preach" behind a paywall ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't know whether you read the links I've send you in my response to your previous article, but when you go through them you may spot that the actual problem is value judgment and money as its token representation (the form of money makes no difference) kept in place by various forms of theistic ideologies. In its simplest (and most insidious) form, where we are at, "theos" is the concept of value itself.
