  1. NIck has asked some tough, pertinent questions and Comfort, Ian, Brad and Benedetta have all given positive analyses of the many subjects discussed in this vocast. What I think we all have to come to terms with is that all of the problems discussed today are exacerbated by our antiquated and quite frankly obsolete economic system. Brad Smith is the CEO of Microsoft and he could tell us that no one is using computers from the 90s because they are obsolete. It's the same with capitalism which has seen the ten richest people in the world double their personal wealth during the lab-leaked Covid-19 pandemic. This is appalling and it is a red flag if there ever was one. It shows us that everything we do in life is profit driven and everything we value has profit engraved in it somewhere, because capitalism is a profit-based system that encourages expansion of personal wealth which means exploitation of natural resources at any cost and the surety that tipping points will be overtaken increases every single day we use it as our economic arbiter and happiness maker. We must accept the fact that a new way of living life on planet Earth must be carved out and the only way to achieve it is to replace capitalism with a humanity-based, fairer, international economic model that puts everyone in the driver's seat i.e., on the same page. All of us are passengers in a vehicle called the human community and the motor is capitalism and boys and girls, in case you haven't noticed it, our magic bus is careening off the road and this is why we are struggling to understand why we are still dealing with an incredibly dangerous hot war in Ukraine, the African wars, the Taiwan question and an increasingly divided world.
