Material conditions are only part of the picture.
Our relationships with nature, each other, and knowledge are also essential.
Mechanistic materialism is just as much brain rot as Abrahamism, and capitalist materialism has been baked into our language in the form of the metaphors we use, our values, and how we talk about things.
Curiosity, creativity, and intellectualism needs to be massively promoted not as a luxury, not as "good to have," but absolutely ESSENTIAL.
Want a material reason? A society that doesn't learn is doomed to burn, as it is rendered incapable of dealing with its ever-changing problems and challenges.
We're dealing with the consequences of this as global corporate capitalism needs to keep the masses dumb, numb, and ignorant to keep them controllable.
