>“It’s a question of women’s liberation, frankly,” says Barnard. “Higher levels of education lead to lower fertility rates. Who could possibly claim to be against educating girls – and if they are, why?”
Who?
the World Religions and their associated cultures.
““Essentially, overshoot is a crisis of human behaviour,” says Merz. “For decades we’ve been telling people to change their behaviour without saying: ‘Change your behaviour.’ We’ve been saying ‘be more green’ or ‘fly less’, but meanwhile all of the things that drive behaviour have been pushing the other way. All of these subtle cues and not so subtle cues have literally been pushing the opposite direction – and we’ve been wondering why nothing’s changing.”
The paper explores how neuropsychology, social signalling and norms have been exploited to drive human behaviours which grow the economy, from consuming goods to having large families. The authors suggest that ancient drives to belong in a tribe or signal one’s status or attract a mate have been co-opted by marketing strategiesto create behaviours incompatible with a sustainable world.
“People are the victims –”
Exactly…!!
People are self focused and don’t want to see the good for others.
It’s all about “I’ll do me first”….that’s why I feel like I connect with climate activists more, they have earth EI. Give mother earth a break, treat her kindly, use less and reduce your footprint so you can enjoy your time on her longer…(and yes deniers mock me for this stance)
I definitely agree that, at least at large scale, humanity is like a baby in a sandbox who only wants to keep his rattle from the other kids. The UN is broke, climate change is unsolvable, ww3 is on tap daily, and all we get is trump tripe and double-talk in the us. So now we are ready to plug it all into AI and see what happens. Well I’m sure some money will be made, but what happens when AI tells you, even as far as you’ve come, even as successful as your life and career has been, that you are actually causing the problem and are only making it worse? I am on the side of the computer at this point.
