As long as you don't explain how capitalism will inevitably lead to climate change and we need a new system if we want to survive as a species, it's small talk. That's the line I do not cross at work.

Nobody has any clue for a new system. Greedy humans always find a way to exploit it. We need a change in consciousness in humans (prioritizing the planet and human happiness instead of corporate profits) and that's not going to happen it seems. So I think we are probably doomed.

But maybe it's OK. We are here now, and even if we may not be here tomorrow, it's a worthwhile experience I think.

If only someone had an idea and would write a manifesto or something ...

Jokes aside, a more recent and more on topic idea is social ecology. It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism, but the latter is possible.
