Our wisdom lesson offers us a view of the how things could be, through illustrations and words. It\\u2019s the kind of world that everyone could enjoy living in, because it would be organized around compassion, equality, and justice. But that world has mainly lived in human imagination, though not because it is impossible. Instead, we have inherited a set of obstacles to achieving well-being for all. A case in point is the mobilization of the powers that be to defend the power and wealth they have accumulated \\u2013 even in the midst of a global pandemic and in the face of an uprising against police brutality and White supremacy. While much of public discourse continues to fixate on the fear and fascination of \\u201clooting\\u201d by protesters, the real thievery of runaway capitalism continues and even increases. Until Black lives are more valuable than White profit, the world we\\u2019ve imagined will stay in our dreams.
