  • This is something I’ve been thinking about. I think it depends on your definition of “quality of life”. Imagine a world where you never had to worry about housing, medical care, or even food, where you have democratic control of your workplace and work fewer hours allowing more time for hobbies and side projects, but in exchange things like coffee, exotic fruit, chocolate, etc. go from every day commodities to once in a while treats. I think most westerners would take that deal.

    I think it may be a side effect of capitalist realism where it’s easy to point out all the unsustainable excesses that need to go, but hard to imagine all the possibilities for things to improve.
