Capitalism is not the cause of our social and ecological challenges.

It is a symptom. The real problem is in the realm of our ontology - our theory of being. 

Our theory of being is based on dualist philosophies: the idea that we are separate beings. 

Most humans in history followed a very different theory of being. It can be referred to as relational. Relational ontologies see all beings as relatives. The rivers, the mountains, the owls. Being a relative to everything else, behaviour is fundamentally different. 

Next time you see an owl say Hi to your uncle.
