I agree, though I find that society has been throughly indoctrinated in thinking only about profit/economic motives and impacts. That is going to be the first major hurdle, teaching enough people that economics aren't the only metric for running a society, community, and life.

I agree that this is the major problem with society today, but I don't see a solution when this is exactly the desired state of affairs by anyone with any amount of money.

It's funny how only in economics is a secondary effect (efficiency/production/profit) optimized for, and we just hope or assume that it will result in wide-scale health/happiness/wellbeing. In any other situation, we would just design the system around the desired outcome.

Agreed. I think there are methods for teaching that at scale. Like, let's design an idle game that shows other possibilities.
