> i don't really think it solves the greenhouse gas problem by itself or even comes close. Well, yeah...ok, everyone rides around on bikes. Someone has to make the bike. Is it done by hand? How do you scale that to 8B people? Or is it done by a scaled industrial process, and if so, how do you power this? The answer to these questions isn't to limit technology, it's to limit population. The scale of our population is the cause of all of these strange threshold-breaking externalities we're now facing. And you can't point at the technology and say "SEE?! It's ruining everything!" The technology is just a companion to our population. Real primitivists should be arguing for drastically reduced population (however that is achieved ethically), not a reduction of technology.
