    Not at all.

    Like I said, overall I agree with most of what he says (mostly regarding the environment and modernism, which is the primary subject that he writes and talks about), but there are other times that I’m fundamentally at disagreement with him.

      He is - strangely - quite optimistic about our ability to curb it, and backs up everything he says with evidence.

      That’s one of the strangest sentences I’ve ever heard from a rational Hexbear. I’m not against contrarianism. But you’re going to have to explain yourself. I have a couple questions.

      • Strangely? C’mon. This isn’t rocket science. He’s an obnoxious turd who surely wants some sugar-daddy billionaire to fund him the rest of his life. And being quite optimistic and dismissive douchebag is a possible ticket to Cash City.

      • Evidence? What is this “evidence”? I really want to know.

        I do not see any indication of this at all.

        What is this “evidence”?

        Pretty much everything he writes is very well sourced, citing studies etc etc. His seminal piece on anti-degrowth is here if you want to give it a read
