Unfortunately you are looking at effects. It starts with causes.

For one thing, everything about life has been monetized, presumably to make it more efficient, but in actuality to allow those controlling the financial system to skim off as much of the cream as possible.

Government, as executive and regulatory function, is analogous to the nervous system, while money and banking amount to the blood and circulation system of society. When you have public government and private banking, the banks rule and government becomes a charade. Which should be all too evident in England.

Another is that we are linear, goal oriented creatures in a cyclical, circular, reciprocal, feedback generated reality, so there tend to be few effective circuit breakers in the feedback loops we devise, like wealth and power leveraging more wealth and power.

Efficiency is to do more with less, so peak efficiency will be when we can do everything with nothing.

To culture, good and bad are some cosmic conflict between righteousness and evil, while in nature, it's the basic biological binary of beneficial and detrimental, the 1/0 of sentience.

That's to get everyone functioning as a larger social organism, but reality is that dichotomy of centripetal synchronization and harmonized equilibrium. Nodes and networks, organisms and ecosystems, particles and fields, individuals and societies.

More yin and yang, than God Almighty.

Logically a spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. More the light shining through the film, than the images on it.

Ideals are not absolutes.

Remember democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures. The family as godhead. The Romans adopted a monotheistic sect as state religion as the Empire was rising from the ashes of the Republic. The Big Guy Rules.

If you really want to break open the current cultural Overton window, it has to be total, not just sticking bandaids over bullet wounds.
