The solution would seem to be to make sanity the norm rather than the exception. But how is the question.

The answer is change minds, not industries.

Humans need far less stuff when their head seems full.

Growth is the philosophy of the cancer cell.

This is a brainless diary.

Align culture with our nature.

Well, it is clear that you do not see the substance that I see. The diary does not advocate growth, growth, growth. It shows why the meme has had the power that it does. It is essential to understand that if it is to be confronted.

Please do not make denigrating characterizations of those who go to the effort to attempt to explain important aspects of our economy and society. I find the dairy valuable and worth re-reading. It amplifies insights I have obtained through other recent reading. But you may find this comment "brainless" as well. I am giving you the courtesy of this explanation rather than using one of the lower ratings for your comment.

thanks for defending me! :-)

Some people manage to comment without even reading the first paragraph. But that's how the internet (unfortunately) often works...

Well, it is awkward to defend one's self from such characterizations and it is part of what I am supposed to be doing, anyway. But you are more than welcome. I look forward to your next diary.

Hint! When ten people, including Jerome and other editors have recommended a diary it is a bad idea to call it brainless.

But how is the question.

slowly, patiently, one person at a time, maybe?
