Acharya Prashant addresses the existential threat of climate change, framing it not as a technological problem but as a spiritual crisis rooted in the human 'center' or core tendencies. He argues that humanity is currently in the middle of the sixth mass extinction, driven by a mindless urge for material accumulation and a lack of inner beauty. He defines beauty as that which addresses the core of human restlessness and cuts through falseness, suggesting that if human beings do not become beautiful internally, they will inevitably destroy the physical beauty of the world. He emphasizes that while adaptation through green technologies and recycling is helpful, these are not cures; they often serve only to relieve individual guilt without changing the underlying consumption patterns that drive destruction.
