Our world may not return to normal for some time.

It is not the first time that we are seeing a global disease pandemic and it certainly won’t be the last. Our modern world creates outbreaks like coronavirus. The coronavirus pandemic is a direct outcome of excessive activity over and beyond the capacity of our human and environmental ecosystem.

Our excessive existence is a hotly debated point. From the ecological crisis we are creating from carbon emissions and dumping plastic in the oceans, to the disproportionate wealth gap being created by modern U.S. style democratic capitalism, the warning signs are abundant.

We need to stop fighting resource wars among ourselves and against nature. Money and technology are tools we’ve created that need to serve us. And if it is humanity versus nature, nature is going to win. Every single time. Fundamentally, money is a claim on resources. A claim on energy spent somewhere in the system. But with digital infrastructure, we can transition away from burning physical energy in the system and confine it to the digital domain.
