Kunstler said we're dissatisfied, yep, but everyone has told us our life is

We are in the middle of a titanic clash between two ways of seeing the world. 
One assumes that technology and maximum economic growth will resolve the 
problems of the world, that continuation of twentieth-century emphases is 
viable.

The other believes that we need new goals. It argues that only a concentration 
on social cohesion, ecological integrity, effective decision-making, and the 
quality of life can prevent massive disasters.
