But do deny the reality that short term stock market driven goals of eternal growth are incompatible with a sustainable and healthy society is a non-starter for me, it is so incredibly clear that to ignore it is almost wilful at this stage. "After me, the deluge".

Yet here we are - with the most prosperous and healthy nations all based on a model around, what you call, “short-term stock market driven goals”.

May you have give an example? Because I look around and don’t see what you see.

That's because we're looking at different things. I'm looking at the state of the world in general, the number of people that have to deal with the fall out of all that wealth in terms of climate and pollution. That welfare comes with a massive cost.
