Greedy corporations have captured many regulatory bodies around the world. In the USA in particular, virtually all political decisions are made in support of corporate profits. In essence, we are heading the wrong direction at this point. In order to achieve the goal in this meme, we would need to somehow overcome those corporate influences and completely reverse the course we are on now. This would take decades at best and more than a few of them.

Sadly, the clock is running out on us and I very much doubt we have enough time remaining. Climate change and pollution levels are nearing tipping points will start us on a downhill race towards ecological disaster that will likely wipe out much of humanity. I give us maybe 20 years before the struggle for survival starts to overwhelm any other human motivations. If or when we come out the other side of that crisis, then perhaps the cultures that rise out of the chaos will be wiser than we are now.
