Technology requires resources. Extracting and processing those resources destroys land and pollutes. If technology is to remain indefinitely, it must be at a level that is sustainable otherwise we will be living in a dead and toxic world. Derrick Jensen argues that this level is something equivalent to the stone age as in a hunter/gatherer society and that our way of life in large cities is not sustainable. What do you think?

Hi. Any system that relies on growth to sustain it is ultimately going to fail. Growth cannot be sustained indefinitely.

"sustainability" is a leftist buzz-word...
we cannot "kill" the world... everything we've made comes from it.
probably something to do with the first law of thermodynamics..
our species, on the other hand, who really cares?
