Out On a Limb

- James Howard Kunstler -

So apparently others are finally taking note of Kunstler's 'back to a world made by hand' lunacies. And here he fully verbalizes his premise: " Industrialism is an entropic project. It accelerates and intensifies entropy, which is to say the drive toward disorder and death."

Which is in error. All life on earth for the past few billions of years has used energy -- plants using CO2, animals O2. Energy is not destroyed, but thanks to Einstein, only changed in form. Even Kunstler's idea of returning to a world made by hand would require the use of energy, although on a smaller scale -- but still, according to his premise, eventual exhaustion of such would result in "disorder and death."

I fear Kunstler is of that subset of environmentalists who think the human species a parasite on the planet and thus 'worthy' of extinction.

In the meantime he would have the Japanese, for a start, making clay pots and similar oddments and trinkets -- for trade.

If anyone is 'out on a limb', it is Kunstler.
