Resilience

One could argue that resilience is evolutionary but survival of the fittest is not really a political preferance in the modern social concept excepting perhaps a natural willingness towards competition.

The democratic majority prefer negotiation to genocide, wellness over starvation, care over neglect. ESG is simply a way of expressing modern human desires into the market regardless of return on investment.

Despite a clear desire for ESG, the market is most heavily invested in weapons of destruction, be they soma or bombs, the getting of energy and the creation of consumerables.

The market is not based on social values or social welfare but in the getting of wealth for a limited few. The paradigm is very simple in complexity. The ability to influence the market is directly proportional to stakeholder capital, largely political or financial. Those at the top control the ability of the majority to form thoughts and take action.

So why resilience? Embracing the seven deadly sins in the pursuit of short term gains creates externalities. As the market consumes the natural world at an unsustainable rate and fails to invest in social cohesion we start to see the cracks.

A call to resilience is simply paper we attempt to place over the cracks. That way we do not have to leave the cave.
