>Paradigm Blindness  - James Howard Kunstler - 
JHK needs to get around more. He states "The emergent path of going medieval means living in smaller, tighter towns and doing some kind of business, or working some kind of trade, that is based in the economy of the town and its region." Emergent path? What about the rest of north America that doesn't live in a metropolis, are they some sort of medieval hold outs? You know the small farming communities that have been doing it right for the last 200 plus years? Hell no they are just as modernized as them thar city folk dontchaknow, it’s just that they have a better understanding of how to live simple lives than JHK does. It's all well and good to complain about places like Irvine and LA but isn't this exactly what people like JHK want? High density environments where everyone can smell each other’s farts?

Putting a million people in a sardine can has drawbacks that socialists who promote this high density crap just can't get their head around because they believe we should all accept each other just the way we are. They never understood that this has never and will never work. Humans want space, enough space to not feel threatened by someone else's indigestion and certainly not by 200 noisy neighbors who all think that waking to a blaring call to prayer every morning is what we all need.

Sure I agree with JHK that we should all be more reliant on our own labors to feed ourselves but I can’t accept his contradiction that high density with public transit you still have to walk to through a neighborhood filled with low life scum waiting to rip you off because they have been spoon fed the liberal crap about how they deserve everything their hearts desire without having to work and those who have money should pay for it, just to have to wait for an inconveniently timed bus or subway train that will drop you off somewhere inconvenient and then you have to do more walking, leads to a better life! Having been part of a municipal planning board wherein high density was promoted and set up to be written into future bylaws for construction of new neighborhoods I fully understand that these planners haven’t got a clue how to incorporate distributed agriculture to reduce the need to truck in everything such a highly compressed mass of humans requires.

Will the economic situation require that at a future date, JHK says within 10 years, end up with people turning into vigilantly groups battling other groups for control of some turf, I don’t have that sort of clairvoyance and neither does JHK. Again, if he has an ability to see into the future with any real amount of accuracy then why isn’t he the richest man alive? No he’s just another liberal bemoaning that north America isn’t a shining light of socialism that he wants it to be.

This week’s piece is nothing more than a bunch of whining about how the world doesn’t fit his desires. Well JHK, shuffle on and stamp your little feet while cursing humanity for being smarter than you are.

Début de l'article :Something is sucking the air out of the humid terrarium that is US politics, making the lizards, tarantulas, and scorpions within hyperventilate. That something is the vacuum of disappearing wealth. All the accounting fraud, statistical mis-reporting, price manipulations, naked-short beat-downs, high-speed arbitrage hijinks, and carry trade rackets can’t conceal the reality that the nation is going broke – at least 99 percent of the nation. The remaining 1 percenters, outside the terrarium, are... Lire la suite
