Action precedes Hope.
I think you’re missing the point.

Pointing out your failure to acknowledge Gen AI as a feature of Neoliberalism.

Why are you allowing the use of sweat shop labour to take precedence over the ‘anti-sweat shop labour’ slogans on the tee shirts?

Especially since the world is awash with people using sweat shop labour.

Finally, one good piece of news from the govt. If they weren’t also complicit in the destruction of UK nature you might start to think they cared.

Really good book. But since generative AI plagiarises work, steals jobs and contributes to climate breakdown, it’s a pass.

Solar Geoengineering feels like Chekhov's Gun in this particular narrative.

We exist as part of a complex set of relationships with the rest of the natural world.

The idea that humans can outgrow the life supporting systems of our planet simply because a flawed socioeconomic system requires it is neither ecological or compassionate.

The natural world is collapsing.

Sustainability isn’t rocket science, we should be discussing compassionate and pragmatic ways to co-exist as part of nature.

Twisting everything into a culture war or a purity test only obfuscates the sense of broader human solidarity required to address that.

The bad faith in this is that you are intent on distorting this from an issue of sustainability into a question of race.

Let’s be clear, I have no more interest in whether the UK population is made up of light skinned Christians or dark skinned Muslims than a water vole does.

The mental gymnastics required to twist my response into something that it clearly isn’t, comes across as engaging in bad faith.

A steady state system is one that exists in balance with nature and is clearly not extinction. I am not denying anyone anything.

We’re heading towards a world in which creativity is seen as an unnecessary step in the journey to product.

The prospect of a society built on a feedback loop of AI is truly terrifying.

What’s more, ‘Betterhelp’ - the business it’s promoting - seems to have multiple issues regarding its ethics and practices.

Have you even watched this video to the end?
It’s essentially an advertorial for an online health business.

Bottom line: UK screening programmes are targeted to those at higher risk to reduce harm and improve value.

With ~9 million in the UK not up to date with at least one screening, if you’ve been invited, don’t miss it.

King Charles 'deeply touched' by reaction to cancer TV message, says Buckingham Palace
In a TV broadcast on Friday night, the King said an early diagnosis was key to the "good news" that his treatment is being scaled back.

We should be aiming towards a steady state system. In which nature, population and consumption are balanced.

There isn’t another living creature in the U.K. that would advocate for more people. We need to frame ourselves as part of that larger whole.

The answer to falling population numbers is not more people - either by increasing birth rates as Musk advocates, or importing more people as you propose. The answer to falling population numbers is changing an economic and sociocultural system predicated on infinite growth.
December 15, 2025 at 9:23 AM
There is no scenario in which more people - especially in the global north - benefits nature.
The argument that we need more people to prop up an unsustainable system feels worryingly close to the one capitalists use to justify the need for an ever expanding consumer base.

Developing countries are gradually moving towards the heavier environmental footprints of those in the west. You can’t prevent that. However, if women’s reproductive rights increase in line with that hopefully population rates will fall and eventually stabilise in those places.
December 15, 2025 at 9:21 AM
Yes. Obviously the poorest have much smaller footprints than the wealthiest, but that doesn’t negate the point that there are environmental boundaries to any society.

The question is; what are those limits and how do you stay within them from a position of compassion and humanity.
