We turn now to the arts in order to hold a mirror up to the competitive relationships that we have chosen to live among. The film Don't Look Up, which premiered globally over Christmas 2021, is a satire on the media's failure to communicate climate science. It ends with the complete destruction of the earth in the final scene after a creepy billionaire, who seems to be Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos rolled into one caricature, attempts to mine rare metals from an asteroid rather than deflect it from its Earth- destroying trajectory. The film has an all- star cast, including long- time climate advocate Leonardo DiCaprio, and neatly and alarmingly portrays the trajectory to oblivion of the climate and ecological crises that we are living through. DiCaprio plays a scientist whose warnings could save the earth from the meteor impact but are ignored, ridiculed and turned into clickbait for the attention economy until the crisis that could have been avoided destroys the earth. As a matter- destroying shockwave spreads around the world from the meteor strike and disintegrates the main characters, they reach out to hold hands around a dinner table. In this final moment, the full gravity of Don't Look Up sets in as the comedic affectation of the film is lost and the characters cease to be caricatures and appear human through the care and comfort that they offer each other in their final moment. The film holds a mirror up to news readers who are more interested in stoking controversy than listening to experts, politicians who are more concerned with their next election than saving the planet and the billions of people who care but are made powerless by a system that has no interest in serving them. As the credits rolled, I was struck dumb by the horrifying reality of the film and the mirror that it held up to my own frustrated efforts to engage policy makers and the media. In the following pages, we will see why markets blind the rich and powerful to the crises that they perpetuate while the rest of us are left to our impotent grief, fear and anger.
