No that's what got us here. Profit above all else brought us where we are, it can't bring us back. Apologies for being blunt but that's a stupid thought you shared.

I'm not debating the finer points of morality; just the reality of the situation.

By positing it as the reality and not just a reality that we can actually change, you're playing defense for em. You're using their talking points.

BTW You don't have to be debating the finer points of morality to be doing something immoral. Corporatists don't debate morality either. Because they know they lose, every time. Hint hint.

I'm not playing defense for anyone. I'm recognizing that deconstructing the corporate money-making machine will take longer than we have to fix the more immediate problem of killing off our biosphere, so working with the system, broken as it is, may be the only way forward.
