business
There is no polite way to say that business is destroying the world.
artificial ask businesses created executive
We have to ask ourselves, 'What kind of world is it where a baby-food executive substitutes artificial flavoring and sugar for apple juice? What kind of businesses have we created when we even lie to infants?'
business carrying clearly critical developing education lack ongoing outside seeing step thriving
Seeing the world around you clearly is a critical step in developing an idea for a business, carrying out that idea, and then thriving with an ongoing concern. Through choice, predilection, lack of education, impatience, or other causes, the entrepreneur lives, in a way, outside the mainstream.
business life

Business is destroying the world, with flair, expertise, and panache.

good-business humans human-beings
Being a good human being is good business.
business real earth
We have an economy that tells us it is cheaper to destroy earth in real time rather than renew, restore, and sustain it. You can print money to bail out a bank but you can't print life to bail out a planet

There's no in-between. Either Audible will be wallpaper or it will be a billion-dollar-plus company.
class decline figure human last means paper published rate refute system thirty time
Class of 2009: you are going to have to figure out what it means to be a human being on Earth at a time when every living system is declining, and the rate of decline is accelerating. Kind of a mind-boggling situation... but not one peer-reviewed paper published in the last thirty years can refute that statement.
