In our modern world, we talk about the default setting of capitalism as a problem that can be solved. Need a hole to hang a picture? Here is a hammer. It comes from a scarcity mindset that we lack something and the market place will help.
However, this infiltrates our human psyches. We think that our lives can be as efficient as a factory. But this isn’t possible.
If we feel lust, we can pay for sex but in the end we are still left feeling lustful again. The same can be said when we feel alone, we look for friends but at the end of the day we are still left feeling lonely. Same goes for our stomachs, the way we use our time, energy…
What I am getting at is that we can’t solve the human problems and challenges with the market place. At best, it forces to interact with them.
