Republished from The Post-Progressive Post In this column I offer constructive critiques of public figures I admire by pointing out how they could benefit from a developmental perspective. Jonathan Haidt is a national treasure. His courageous opposition to the mounting pressure for ideological conformity within American academia continues to serve as a light of liberalism for America’s embattled universities. And as Haidt points out, the strident demands of this new kind of progressive fundamentalism are now impacting institutions across the American landscape. I applaud Haidt’s cogent critiques, and I especially appreciate how he has managed to forward his advocacy for …

Over 100 world leaders have pledged to end, and even reverse, deforestation by 2030 at the COP26 UN climate summit. And over 30 of the world’s biggest financial companies have promised to end investment linked to deforestation. But in 2014, a similar ‘landmark’ agreement was reached – and this didn’t slow deforestation at all. Part of the problem is that decision-makers are locked into trying to solve problems within the framework of the incumbent paradigm. But this paradigm is about to be dramatically transformed, opening up entirely new ways of thinking about forests. Far from focusing purely on ‘band aid’ …

Despite all of the doom and gloom that surrounds climate change today, there has never been greater cause for optimism about the future of the environment. The reason why is that we already have the tools we need to meet this formidable challenge. But some tools are better than others, and if we get distracted by the wrong ones we could lose trillions while failing to solve the problem, so it is crucial that we stay focused and use the right tools for the job. Climate change represents a genuine existential threat to our civilization that is rivaled in magnitude …

The first book of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series was also published as The 1,000-Year Plan — an indication of the series’ focus on long-term thinking. Cover design by Ed Valigursky Courtesy of Alittleblackegg/Flickr Perusers of The Manual For Civilization, The Long Now Foundation’s library designed to sustain or rebuild civilization, are often surprised to find the category of Rigorous Science Fiction included alongside sections devoted to the Mechanics of Civilization, Long-term Thinking, and a Cultural Canon encompassing the most significant human literature. But these ventures into the imaginary tell us useful stories about potential futures. Science fiction has long had …

Dies ist die Geschichte eines idyllischen Ökodorfes, das bekannt ist als ZEGG (Zentrum für experimentelle Gesellschaftsgestaltung) und seiner Infiltration durch eine gefährliche Sekte aus Lülsfeld namens Go&Change. Und es ist eine Geschichte über sexuellen Missbrauch und zwei tote Kinder. Die folgenden Schilderungen beruhen auf meinen eigenen Erfahrungen, sowie was ich von anderen gehört und gelesen habe. Ich erhebe nicht den Anspruch, dass dieser Artikel kritischer Journalismus im engeren Sinne ist. Und ich behaupte keineswegs, dass dieser Artikel besonders investigativ ist. Diese Geschichte soll anderen als Warnung dienen. Darum teile ich sie. Wenn nur eine Person von Go&Change abgehalten wird und …

The United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP26, is bringing together world leaders to discuss the world’s future action on climate change. At present, the world’s biggest polluters are China, the United States, and India – three enormous countries with large populations and extensive infrastructure built on fossil fuels. In these, and all, countries, it’s often assumed that decarbonization requires painful sacrifices that could damage prosperity. But in reality, it’s the opposite. Greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation actually offers an unprecedented opportunity for new forms of economic prosperity that regenerate the earth. This is not just an opportunity that every country …
