The title is a bit misleading. (Maybe even deliberately so, given this is FT.) This story is about the recent surprise bestsellers by Kohei Saito in Japan. While Saito does argue for "degrowth communism", marxism is not the only w

After reading the replies I believe this dynamic is real, but from my own opposite experiences, not universal. I asked my feminist wife about this and she said the reason she isn't put off by vulnerable men is partly because her father

For me, becoming a generalist has been driven by broad curiosity across many schools of thought – not limited to just software nor even technology. I can't even imagine a world where I would have been content specializing. One upside t

For posterity this is a complete misunderstanding of everything degrowth. There's a whole book about this particular disingenuous Malthusian accusation but here's the gist: https://www.cato-unbound.org/2021/04

I wrote this very quickly as just one comment among dozens of very different comments, so I really didn't expect to get the attention. It's much harder to write with plain words about these topics, so that's the reason for al

There is no easy answer, and making a change this big is a monumental task. Personally I've still come to think that just because making this change is very hard, that's not an excuse for me to not try, because the alternative is

None of them are system changes. Yes, 1 and 3 would be fantastic – although switching to electric without at the same time reducing SOVs is IMO very inadequate if you take int account all of the planetary boundaries, not just climate change

I know I'm going to get downvoted for this, but the answer to your question depends on your analysis of the problem. If you're an ecomodernist, who believes we can stop and reverse the transgression of planetary boundaries (climat

> It is actually a good idea regarding decentralization. I absolutely agree: hypercore, their DHT and holepunching work is excellent. My frustration stems from the fact that nothing in the innovative part of Keet needs cryptocurrencies.

Any mention of bitcoins typically means a full-on commitment to cryptocurrencies. And I don't think I was wrong, because found out only later that this is funded by Tether and Bitfinex. The actual purpose of this project seems to be to

The bitcoin support is a huge red flag for me. I really hope they scrap that.

I'm with on on this, and agree wholeheartedly that fighting overconsumption is a system change, which needs a big political win (see my response on a sibling comment). At the same time, I do have a little hope that commenting this here

I agree that it can be possible to live sustainably in a house, like you described (and I gave that list mostly to spark the imagination, not as absolutes). But big lands with very few people living on them, is very hard to do at scale, esp

Those were just a few examples to spark the imagination, not categorical demands for everyone, and there are indeed many caveats. Furthermore, even though I did address individuals in the above points, going after overconsumption needs a sy
