The Value Crisis Glossary


"The Value Crisis"


The value crisis is the monumental challenge that the excessive preponderance of quantitative (number-based) value systems creates for humanity and the integrity of our ecosystem.

Our society has arrived at a state where quantitative values (such as money) consistently trump qualitative (life-based) values.  Quantitative value systems all have the flawed core concept that "More is Always Better" - a concept that defies natural laws, and eventually leads to an existential crisis.

The value crisis is a metacrisis which can only be solved by restoring qualitative values to having an equivalent precedence over quantitative values, when appropriate.
