We’ve been sold the myth of scarcity, the lie that there’s not enough for everyone, so we must hoard, compete, and climb over one another. This scarcity isn’t a natural state; it’s engineered. It’s a controlled burn that benefits those who hold the matches and watch as we scurry for the embers. They’ve built fortresses of wealth on foundations of our collective insecurity, our fears of inadequacy, and our ceaseless labor. Their wealth is our deprivation, accumulated from the very system that pits us against each other under the guise of scarceness.
