The Steady-State Economy vs. "Growth"

[bUU]

Don't you think that if paradigms were formed that enabled us to see us all as one body and not a collection of parasites and hosts, we might be able to disable the labels of "greedy" and "undeserving poor"? And how might we achieve that? Perhaps by making interdependence a higher value than independence.

The problem, Catherine, is that would be perceived by the "greedy" as sharing what they think they're entitled to control with the "undeserving poor". Some would even consider a suggestion that "interdependence [should have] a higher value than independence" as "socialism" or "communism", or would apply some other appellation with nefarious undertones.
