A single lost limb with major bleed would probably still be breathing, and so would not be Black. Their vitals would place them in Red. They are the people triage is designed to save, by minimizing time spent with Black, Yellow, and Green.

Is there wide agreement it is misbehaving and ought to be changed “somehow”? Perhaps it could be modified. There are other ways to achieve the basic objective without creating the same side effects. For example, Colorado’s TABOR has a very

The real story is, are they greenwashing or simply struggling in their push to make things better? The “expose” doesn’t touch on that at all, which makes me skeptical. No effort investigating how Patagonia responded internally to the allega

Part of the problem is the ranchers don’t have good tools to repel the wolves. They can’t kill them. Wolves get around fences, kill guard dogs, etc. They are persistent, smart, and learn, so they can learn to defeat traps, and quickly lose

There’s clearly some of the baumol effect at play. The small engine repairman hasn’t gotten much more productive, which is part of why it’s so expensive to hire out repair.

It’s not ecologically complex, it’s socially complex. Flat out steamrolling the ranchers just because you can is foolish, and will create generations of simmering resentment. Actual governance involves hearing and recognizing their concerns

FWIW, there are multiple wolf packs in Glacier National Park. There is mandatory grizzly safety education and you are required to carry bear spray when venturing into the backcountry. Nobody ever said a word about wolves.

The line of thought is, “easily distracted” can in practice mean “noticing everything”. Awareness lies partly in conflict with focus.

I find myself wondering “at what price”. For every oddball who found their community online, there must be 10x, 100x, 1000x as many experiencing only the dark side. There are, by definition, not that many oddballs. It’s a funny blind spot;

I might agree, if I could ever figure out what is “meaningful” to me. I’m simultaneously incapable of sitting down and doing nothing (because I love pushing towards a goal) and also fully aware that goals are usually extrinsic and unfulfill
