Acharya Prashant discusses the limitations of legislative changes in addressing the climate crisis, noting that while some countries have overhauled their constitutions to grant rights to nature, human greed and the abstract nature of the climate make such laws difficult to uphold. He argues that the current information revolution has paradoxically decreased wisdom and corrupted our internal knowledge with misinformation, leading people to prioritize comfort and instant gratification over environmental health. He observes that the human 'beast within' is willing to trade long-term wellness for immediate pleasure, especially since the climate threat is not always perceived as immediate or irrefutable. He further explains that climate deniers find refuge in the fact that environmental changes are not yet bluntly obvious to everyone. However, he points out that there is one universal truth no one can deny: the desire for a better quality of life. Every individual acknowledges that their life has problems and seeks improvement. Acharya Prashant suggests that the climate crisis can only be effectively addressed by connecting it to this fundamental human desire for a better life and showing people that their internal well-being is inextricably linked to the state of the world.
