In response to a question about encouraging companies to prioritize environmental health over profit, Acharya Prashant explains that this issue cannot be tackled in isolation. He suggests that while suitable legislation could be brought about, for example, by treating the climate as a person with its own rights and penalizing violations, this approach would have limited effectiveness. He notes that a South American country recently overhauled its constitution to give rights to the climate and various species, a move worth emulating. However, he emphasizes that if we do not respect the rights of sentient beings we can see, it is unlikely we will respect the abstract rights of the climate. The speaker argues that the core of the problem lies in the human condition, which has been exacerbated by the information revolution. He states that while we are in an information age, it has not increased knowledge but has decreased wisdom. This is because much of the available information is misinformation, disinformation, or simply distracting, which has corrupted the quality of our knowledge. Since our inner selves are made of knowledge, corrupted knowledge leads to corrupted actions. People have been taught that comfort and greed are more important than the health of the environment, and this is a teaching that needs to change. Acharya Prashant points out that humans have a tendency to prioritize short-term gratification over long-term wellness, even when it is self-destructive, as seen during the COVID pandemic. He also mentions the existence of climate deniers who use localized weather events to refute global warming, illustrating how people find evidence to support their deceptions. He asserts that the desire for a better life is a universal admission that our current lives have problems, yet the pursuit of material prosperity has not brought true satisfaction. He also connects human emotionality to carbon-intensive activities, stating that our natural, animalistic emotions are a lot of carbon. Ultimately, the speaker proposes that the solution is to address the very center of the human being. When one questions their fundamental condition, the insane flow of energy towards blind destinations and useless pursuits mellows down. This leads to a concentration of energy that provides the meaning and power to overcome the real obstacles to right living. He believes that by objectively looking at our condition and the data from our experiences, we can see that the way we are proceeding is not taking us anywhere meaningful.
