How many planets would we need to support this idyllic lifestyle you describe for 7 billion humans?
If your lifestyle is inherently non sustainable or non scalable, then you only get to live it because you're at the top of a pyramid scheme.
- hcurtiss 6y agoI’m not sure I even disagree with that. Is your proposal that because everyone can’t have it nobody should?
- anonporridge 6y agoNo. There will always be inequality. But we're already running over budget on the resources we do have, https://www.overshootday.org/newsroom/past-earth-overshoot-days/ https://www.overshootday.org/newsroom/past-earth-overshoot-d.... Unless we want to accept some kind of extreme depopulation events (either by choice or by systemic failure) then we have to learn to live a lot more efficiently than we do now. And the long term costs of running suburbs are not fully internalized to the people choosing to live like that.
