Okay I’ll play devils advocate Is this a market problem or a human problem? A fundamental belief I have is that humans are lazy and technology has accelerated this. IMO if humans valued the costs incurred on the planet and other humans, firms would seek to mitigate these costs or they would go out of business. I think a lot of people are too lazy to care about doing good. In my opinion, markets are the best system at optimizing our world, but perhaps humans in general just need to place more value on slowing down optimization to improve markets effects on the world. Or better put - de-accelerating. In a dopamine riddled world, where technology is created to optimize and make our lives easier - perhaps we need to create tech designed to incentivize us do more good - or at least give us the perception that we are doing more good.
