Thanks for this post — it deals with some of the same things I’ve been thinking about for a long time, about how our society should change to avoid violently imploding once the realities of limited natural resources finish catching up with our economic system, which makes infinite growth, expansion, and infinitely-increasing energy use preconditions for a good life for most people.

Like you, I’m trying to see a future in which there’s a lot less wealth, but people also thrive in a way they’re not thriving now.
