“I wonder if the most appropriate guide is not about “how to make slightly better decisions for the environment” but more like “how to transition from first-world resource abundance to resource scarcity over the course of 20 years”. Including how to organize communities, farming, healthcare, transportation, communication. Practical knowledge around sustainability is neat, but it seems like the overall utility of that knowledge will be limited to a brief time span, maybe the past 30 years through the next 10 years. Then we will need a totally different set of skills and intuitions.” — Kyle McDonald
