>Are some of our mindsets preventing us from seeing alternatives?

no, just corporate greed and political corruption. If we wanna change that, words won't do at this point.

>Given that society has reinvented itself many times through history, are more reinvention possible?

Yes, and through what catalyst has society reinvented itself? Reasonable discourse to a civil population appealing to emotion and reason? A sudden burst of altruism to try and cement a positive legacy?

It will reinvent itself eventually. Definitely in my lifetime. I don't know how many of us will survive to see the other side.
