It is a cliché, but a true one nonetheless: we need each other-in order to survive, and in order to thrive. Moreover, we are all vulnerable, in the best case only for periods at the beginning and at the end of our lives and when we are sick or injured, but some of us are less lucky and need support throughout our time on Earth. It is fodder for psychologists why so many people have such a great urge to believe that they are strong, capable of life on their own. We are not. None of us can survive very long without other human beings.

Accepting this fundamental vulnerability would have drastic consequences for how we organize society. Care and community-building would become central to our collective decision-making. That would mean making reasoned, balanced decisions about when it is appropriate to prioritize our own commitments, and when we must prioritize caring for others. Does this sound like the world Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are giving us? I don't think so.
