Something that is not affordable is not sustainable.
2 thoughts on ““Sustainable” Development”
It’s one of the absurd paradoxes of this movement that sustainable development is less sustainable than unsustainable development. For me, the real problem is that sustainable development deliberately causes increased poverty. That in turn results in high fertility humans – poor people are high fertility people.
Without some sort of population control over the poorest regions of the world, there will be no sustainable development in those. And by far the best way we’ve found so far for making poor parts of the world better population growth-wise is to turn them into a part of the developed world.
Sustainable means different things to different people. Our friends to the left aren’t worried about your, or society’s, sustainability.
