abstractions vs. realities
There’s a critical problem that requires nothing less than a transition of lifeways. Remember when it was suggested that the 1990s was going to be The Decisive Decade in that regard:
. . . major transformation must begin or the world would have “only about 40 years in which to reverse environmental deterioration or face a long decline into economic and social ruin.”
Um, it’s almost 40 years since then. There hasn’t been a decade marking major transformation … and there won’t be. Things just can’t and don’t change that fast:

Marx famously wrote in 1848 that “A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism.”
As if.
One would have gotten a sense reading The Manifesto that communism was on the historical agenda for, perhaps, 1849? perhaps 1877? perhaps 1902? We now know it’s due in 2148 … by coincidence and serendipity, exactly 300 years from the date of original announcement. Better late than never.
