I would put 'Religions' at the top just because of their cultural heritage.
Capitalism is right up there, and probably MORE dangerous.
With Capitalism, More People is More Money.
The Greedy of Today, will sellout their Children and Grandchildren.

The Future is 'Automation', which means FEWER jobs for Humans. We're creating problems NOW that needn't be created.

The Bible & Eastern faiths promote Vegetarianism.

That would solve a lot of environmental concerns.

As less livestock to take up lots of space which livestock requires more deforestation & produces more green house gases.

Many other environmental concerns are absolutely Capitalist related.

We use Gas & Oil plastics which are toxic for eons obviously due to Capitalism.

When Hemp plastic scan be used.

As for Co2 easy use solar panels with a solar battery & steam powered cars

Right, and there was a time when going to the moon was "impossible"... It doesn't change what I think. Even if you are afraid to think into the future.

:) I'm good with 'Going where no man has gone before'.
I'm also good with preserving the Home Planet.

I could have mentioned the Muslim 'caravans' to Europe.
150 years ago, we needed people to man the Factories, Industrial Plants, Mills ... now, Machines do much of that repetitive Work.

Automation is problematic because it will cause a collapse in jobs& thus consumerism.

Therefore Capitalism is becoming more & more obsolete.

You're probably more a 'Theist':

"Theism
Theism is broadly defined as the belief in the existence of a Supreme Being or deities. In common parlance, or when contrasted with deism, the term often describes the classical conception of God that is found in monotheism – or gods found in polytheistic religions—a belief in God or in gods without the rejection of revelation as is characteristic of deism.Wikipedia"

Automation has accompanied the industrial revolution since it started. The auto industry itself has automated millions of jobs into the dust bin. Those who developed and built the automation grew big and employed many of them. Real obsolescence will come when robots build robots.
The disastrous predictions have not come true so far.

Not the same.
This automation could destroy almost all jobs.

Unless we really tax robots or corporations a lot more to create a universal income.

I fail to see how our society can adapt as is.

Jan: "Automation is problematic because it will cause a collapse in jobs& thus consumerism."
Jack; The prevailing wisdom suggests that vast underemployed/unemployed people will be 'given' money to support the 'Capitalist system'. Think 'Basic Income'.

"Universal basic income
Universal basic income, also called unconditional basic income, basic income, citizen's income, citizen's basic income, basic income guarantee, basic living stipend, guaranteed annual income, universal income security program or universal demogrant, is a theoretical governmental public program for a periodic payment delivered to all citizens of a given population without a means test or work requirement.Wikipedia"

Agreed, one major issue.

Unemployment seems to increase crime a lot.

Here's something from Keerthi:

"Keerthi on Jun 28, 2020:
Mumbai is probably the worst city to live in the entire world. There is no space here and a tiny piece of reclaimed land surrounded by sea is occupied by more than 20 million people.
There is absolutely no greenery here and Mumbai is terrible in every sense of the word.
Half of Mumbai lives in slums. Mumbai is surely the dirtiest city in the world. Much much worse than New Delhi. New Delhi's main problem is air pollution, due to stubble burning in Haryana and Punjab.
Mumbai is a place filled with few billionaire industrialists and Bollywood celebrities. Then you have the plethora of slums to serve these billionaires."
