« too little, too late as a convergence of crises bring our increasingly fragile global system closer to collapse. » So, « cultural evolution is THE MOST IMPORTANT »
Yes, but significant stable cultural changes must be backed by different key Principles people adhere to. Principles always are backed by Values. In turn, Values are derived from Beliefs.
Beliefs (including economics ones) generally are rooted in philosophies/ religions, and their « Evolution » (through diversification in branches, sects, etc) is quite slow (versus degradation speed of the Environment).
I therefore feel that « collapse is our destiny » : https://medium.com/@Ciron/global-collapse-is-our-destiny-97470c7ce2a0
