freeze in PLUTONIUM WINTER or fry in CARBON SUMMER : in today's free market, consumers always have a choice, a DIRE choice

PLUTONIUM WINTER
Just as military organizations once assured us that we had so many nuclear bombs that humanity could suicide itself 10 X over , the carbon organizations are now reassuring us that they are already pumping up and digging up enough carbon reserves to let us suicide ourselves 5 X over .

In today's free market, consumers always have a (false) choice : freeze to death in a Plutonium Winter or fry to death in a Carbon Summer.

Stagflation versus Stability : our real choice


In fact, as consumers, we do have another (moral) choice.

One, time-tested, approach is endless, if intermittent, economic growth like a boom-or-bust cancer tumor , the stagflation we all have grown up under . (See Plutonium Winter or Carbon Summer for more details on how it has been working out for us.)

The other, totally new, approach seeks the stability of a steady state economy where only happiness is allowed to grow exponentially. (Call it this century's GREAT WORK.)

Ignore the false choice of "Freeze or Fry" .

It is stagflation or stability : morally that is our only choice.....

High Modernity may have started the war convinced that Nature had been conquered and was about to be soon replaced by human Synthetic Autarky and that only human Tiger tanks and human Typhoon planes were to be feared. But by the end, more and more people had lost their naive faith in Scientism and were beginning to accept that humanity was thoroughly entangled with both the Nature of plants, animals & microbes as well as the Nature of so called “lesser” humanity. By 1965, the world was definitely entering the Age of Entanglement. Billions still believed - at least in part -with the promises of High Modernity but intellectually & emotionally, it was no longer dominant...
