I think some may argue this, for sure:
we need to turn back the dial on the state of civilization, including its attitudes toward growth and technology.
But I think others in this group are suggesting:
as a consequence of
  • using oil and warming the planet, or
  • using plastic for everything and having low sperm counts, low population growth, or
  • using chemical fertilizers and producing food with no nutritional value, and chemical pesticides and killing insect populations which are base for so much of our natural ecosystems, etc etc
we will experience the impacts of not accounting for all inputs and be forced to evolve, so let's consider alternatives now.
I think there is a difference between these two positions.
