I read Arne Naess deep ecology in the early 90s when I was doing my undergraduate at UW-Madison. Actually I think I started it at Hampshire college in 1989-90. thanks

why does the person have to play flute, that too with recorded birds and not real ones chirping. I mean how cool is Norway. However, Thanks for the lecture and symposium. Kudos to Jason Hickel.

Capitalism has nothing to do with ecological breakdown. Consumption is the issue, and it doesn't matter what economic system you embrace, consumption doesn't just magically disappear. Unless of course your idea of solving this problem is depravation. But heck, just blame capitalism for everything.

Planned, cooperative economies would reduce redundancy, consumerism, and waste

@@JayFortran Why? Because you say so? They've never succeeded at this before. How does this reduce consumerism? Why would the consumer buy something that's wasteful or redundant? Planned by who? Bureaucrats? Who defines and decides what's redundant, and wasteful? The 3 wise men? Is the device you're using to post right now wasteful or redundant? Isn't this subjective? My friend the free market successfully tackles all of these issues because of the profit model. The only way to even earn a profit is to successfully provide humanity with what it wants, needs and demands. Failure to achieve this and no profit will be realized. This eliminates waste and redundancies. A business that's wasteful and producing goods and services that people don't want will go out of business. Profits in fact are directly related to the success of the product. If people hate Apple products or Amazon and thought they were wasteful, these two enterprises wouldn't exist. Why do people line up for Apple products? The only way to prevent, slow, or end consumerism is through depravation. Stop creating what people want, need and demand and they will stop consuming. Why anybody would make this a goal is beyond comprehension. Sorry for the length. Cheers.

Let's test if they work first, planned economies don't have a great track record
