Very smart. I agree that saying “the world” when lamenting the collapse of the Empire is in fact imperial thinking. Look beyond your nose, Westerner, there are plenty of solutions. For one thing, greed. So many westerners think that lose of privilege is lose of everything and run around like Chicken Little saying the sky is falling, the sky is falling. It’s greed that is killing us, and our inability to see that we have way too much for way too little is our major crime. There are plenty of solutions around if we get a little humility. It’s our failure of imagination that is falling.
