I went for a run and had time to think.
There is a cancer at the root of many problems in American culture that I call the extractive mindset. It's often couched in terms of maximizing value, but it boils down to "what's in it for me?" I see it crop up in everything from public land use policy to relationship advice. Infrastructure spending to education priorities. Parenting philosophy to investment strategy. "How can I benefit the most from this interaction, situation, resource, or relationship?" It is destroying our society, our planet, and us as individuals.
The antidote is not asceticism. The answer is stewardship.
