By "he" do you mean Shannon Love's piece? chicagoboyz.net I guess you mean Shannon, it can be a male name. And the other article blog post was by a "Kendra". I had though they where both women but maybe not - From another blog post on that board (one not really relevant to the issues we are discussing) "Shannon’s opponents seem much more willing to immerse themselves in arguing points with his interpretation" chicagoboyz.net also maybe something can be read in to "chicagoboyz". So assuming you mean chicagoboyz.net I guess you mean "Sustainable development is an eventual death sentence." That sentence in isolation is unreasonably hard on sustainable development. In the context of the whole article it is less so, but only because it is IMO reasonably slamming a particular vision of sustainable development, a relatively static vision, without considering possibly less static and less restrictive implementations of the idea. The sustainable development ideologues do happen to be fairly rigid, but then I guess most ideologues are. It is however possible to incorporate some of their ideas, esp. in a voluntary way, into a a freer and more dynamic system. What do you think of the article as critique of the sustainable development ideologues and Malthusian arguments? Have you ever read any Julian Simon? Also what did you think of either of the other blog post about that book commonsblog.org ?
