‘ Environmentalists seem to be strongly attracted to primitivism…’
Paganism, I think.
Worship of Mother Earth, Daughter Moon, Father Sun - ritual Human sacrifice in the Oak Groves to propitiate the gods.
The usual excuse for the Sri Lanka débâclé is being trotted out by Marxist, Malthusians to explain when their policies fail catastrophically - not done ‘properly’. In this case done too quickly without proper preparation.
Oh?
Some might say banning internal combustion engines by 2030 and gas for heating/cooking in the UK, and 2035 in Europe is too quick without proper preparation, such as at least doubling the current generating output capacity to meet the increased demand, major structural upgrade and extension of the grid and local network to carry and distribute the increased load. But what will be required, what resources, what cost, to what schedule hasn’t even been assessed. It’s as if somehow it will just happen by some magical, organic process - chargers will grow out of the pavements, new high tension cables and transformers will just appear, power stations of whatever type will reproduce themselves by binary fission.
My view is CoVid Fakedemic, Sri Lanka are the experiments for the total collapse the Neo-Pagans plan for the World.
Funny, I don’t recall any Marxists or their ilk in 2020 saying “whoah, too fast guys! Slow down those ESG how’s, Sri Lanka, until you are ready!” It is always and only too fast with too little preparation after things go to hell.
I remember reading a piece in Harvard Business Review in 2008 about the future being “ex-growth”. It was a horrifying concept, argued as if it were good for people.
The idea that there is someone special or powerful enough to decide we have reached the end and we don’t need any more growth or improvement in living standards is also nuts. We don’t appoint anyone with that power.
Marx believed that to achieve communism, you need capitalism first. That will produce enough that you can then hit the stop button and live in a redistributive utopia. What an infuriating idea. A recipe for dictatorship.
The whole "organic" movement is a bit of a marketing magic trick designed to deceive people. They have restricted synthetic nitrogen fertilizer while recognizing that without fixed nitrogen they can't get plants to grow, except for the limited number of plants that create homes for bacteria to fix nitrogen for them while using some of their energy to feed those bacteria. However, the energy efficiency of legumes using organic N production nodules by feeding and growing bacteria is not as high as humans do with our synthetic ammonia production.
What the "organic" people depend on is synthetic ammonia fertilizer growth crops fed to cattle with the synthetic ammonia becoming disguised in the animal manure as non-synthetic Nitrogen (aka "organic") diluted in a lot of waste organic material. "Organic" is just a standard rent-seeking game to block normal and innovative agriculture competition. By creating "organic standards" that require the nitrogen supply to be mixed with a lot of manure it can't be easily shipped or be used in hydroponics systems or vertical farms or completion from algae production. That cuts out competition and innovation.
The question I have is whether the Sri Lankan government stopped using fertilizer, etc. (which had to be imported), for "green" reasons or because all of the interest they had to pay on their Chinese loans meant that they did not have enough foreign exchange to buy fertilizer. I thought it was more the latter than the former, but I am not sure.
The Indian subcontinent had the misfortune to achieve independence right after WW2 when "planning" was held in high regard. This got baked into the political economy.
I used to think that Asia would serve as a Based counter to white progressives. I think I was just too used to how the fresh off the boat Korean male nerd shitlords at my high school behaved.
In reality, it seems like Asia takes every retarded progressive idea, puts it on steroids, and runs it right into the ground. There are still some ways in which they aren't the same but it mostly just seems to be status quo inertia.

Embrace the power of "and".

No substitute to using cost benefit analysis when making environmental or any other kind of policy.
