Joining a 9-12 group is not the answer to a failed system that is not designed to sustain itself. Our current system is destined to fail at some point in the future and there is nothing anyone or anything can do about it. It is inherent in the system. A monetary based capitalistic system is very dependant on continual exploitation of labor. When jobs are lost because of tecnological obsolesence via the increased use of automation and robots, this process is eroded and no longer viable. To try to address this problem without considering the root causes of the problem, such as this 9-12 group purports, is only akin to treating the symptoms and is destined to fail. Some day in the future, in order to truly advance our society, and that has to be on a global level for all of humankind, it will be necessary to abandon the old and move on to a more viable, sane and sustaining system. That is to say nothing about how prone to corruption the current system is. There are terrible aspects of our current system that permeate and taint all of humankind and we seem to not want to notice. One day we will have to lay capitalism to rest, but the death of capitalism does not mean a turn to socialism for socialism will have to die also. There are better ways to live for all of us. We are almost at the point of technological advancement that will allow us to adopt entirely new ways. We will get there if we don't annihilate each other first.
