The Cure For A World Run By Psychopaths

The Cure for a World Run by Psychopaths, narrated by George Monbiot, dives into humanity’s immense potential for altruism and cooperation, qualities that have helped us survive and thrive for millennia. Despite these innate strengths, the dominant narrative of extreme individualism and competition has eroded our social bonds, fostering mistrust and division. This video examines how this toxic framework has allowed destructive, self-serving forces to take control, pushing us away from our collective humanity.
Monbiot challenges viewers to imagine a different world—one where our capacity for togetherness and belonging is harnessed to rebuild community and restore harmony. He introduces the concept of the commons, a system that prioritizes shared resources, mutual benefit, and participatory governance over the exploitative models of capitalism and communism. By reclaiming democracy and grounding it in local, inclusive decision-making, we can create societies that respect people and the planet alike.
At its core, this video is a call to embrace a “politics of belonging,” a framework that values connection, cooperation, and shared purpose. Monbiot argues that humanity’s greatest strength lies in its ability to craft stories that inspire change. By telling a restoration story that unites people across divides, we can fight back against the forces of division and build a better future for everyone.
Perfect for those seeking hope and solutions in a fractured world, The Cure for a World Run by Psychopaths offers a powerful vision for how humanity can overcome greed and division. Through the revival of our shared values and a commitment to the common good, we can light the path to a more harmonious and inclusive world.
