Ein Grundeinkommen würde noch meht Konsum hervorbringen. Die lebende Erde ist mit der Ökologie kurz vor dem Kollaps durch den Raubbau der Ökonomie. Das Lebensprinzip die Struktur einer jeden Firma: Reale lebendige Lebenswerte in tote fiktive Vermögenswerte gewandelt. Das ist die stete zerstörung von Lebendigen. Das Lebensprinzip muss wieder gedreht werden sonst ist bald alles tot.
