I just don’t think we will do more than move laterally with our ecological crises though without getting that we will only be swopping out one ecological crisis for another if we don’t get how unrealistic limitless growth is on a finite planet.

Smaller population sizes and less/smarter (actually smarter not smarter sloganeering) consumption are key.

This is why I find maximalist billionaires like Musk and Vinod Khosla kinda extra creepy as investors in green tech..people who think that neither overpopulation nor overconsumption are problems. As long as they get to do whatever they want to sans any regulation.

(Regulation is anathema to our corrupted billionaire class which is why the likes of Vinod Khosla and Reid Hoffman are also attacking progressives in the Biden administration like Lina Khan).

Musk at least also buys into eugenics.
