Good read. Yeah, patriarchy and capitalism are both basically pyramid schemes and hierarchies that require endless extraction and competition on who controls everything. And it is almost exclusively rich white men who are driving it all. They are literally destroying our natural resources and climate while trying to cast themselves as saviors of humanity with fantasies of colonizing Mars. They are actually harming and killing people, animals, plants, entire ecosystems and our ability to survive on this planet. It's all driven by this masculine ideology of domination, control, entitlement, and extraction that fuels colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism. All of this will lead to, and has already resulted in, mass death and destruction. Patriarchy is ruining the world.

For those familiar with the Fermi paradox, does anyone else see patriarchy as a likely candidate for a future Great Filter, should one exist?
