Note that I’m more a consumer of nonviolent strategies and tactics than a practitioner, at least at this point. However, I did participate in the climate strike on September 20, and I’m concerned that this movement is not going to work. This isn’t to discourage the people fighting for action on climate change to stop working. Rather, it’s to get them to start working much, much smarter.

This is an idea I picked up from Patrick Kirch. While it is used to explain population growth by Polynesian archaeologists, I’m starting to wonder if it can be repurposed to a wider context. The basic idea starts with the notion that, just perhaps, Malthus was wrong.
