Additional Comments in discussion with L squared


Dear L2     Indeed I do not see what I do not see. Moreover, I see that no one else sees the correct answer but me, which looks damn suspicious. However I am encouraged by the fact that no one else seems to agree with me and most everyone continues to add incomplete or incorrect answers to the list of unnecessary conclusions; therefore I may be right after all. You can see why I worry about democracy although I continue to support it. Just imagine what education could do if it were free of propaganda.
But, your elegant prose sounds more like religion than does my simple straight-forward engineering solution. We have just experienced a little of the type of grid collapse that will wipe out civilization although in spite of a much different category of preparation. We will understand in what way our community is unsustainable when the energy stops flowing. Someone show me in what way I have not characterized sustainability correctly. By the way, many of the clauses in my current definition of ERoEI* are due to people finding fault with what I had written previously. That's the kind of criticism I can really use. Don't just say something will go wrong; tell me what it is.

I repeat the three aspects of the sustainable steady state: energy, energy, and energy.

The various descriptions of social relations embedded in socialism, syndicalism, communism, and dematerialism do not set bounds upon society's relation to nature. But, that is what makes them amenable to sustainability. They can accommodate any sort of economy consistent with their tenets. Tell us more and explain the details of your profound observation.
