Le regard de Dennis Meadows (auteur du livre @Limits2Growth, 1972) sur le #COVIDー19 et la question de son impact sur le changement #climatique.

Où il est question d’efficacité, de #résilience, de #ressources et de #démographie.

These imbeciles really want to subject us to another virus. Why is why genetic modification of things that MULTIPLY fall under the (nonnaive) precautionary principle.

Recall Mao's policy to eliminate sparrows caused 50 mil to die of famine. #UnintendedConsequences

Public health, like other sciences, is dominated today by statistics: many individuals

Community/city/state are just containers for people

This reductionistic view doesn't describe extreme events (pandemics) or collective acts

Society requires different concepts and math

Background: Why the world is at risk is not just because of one coronavirus. Why we predicted it in 2006

Transition to Extinction: Pandemics in a connected world.

"Are people in western countries safe because of higher quality health systems?" No

In which @UnlearnEcon teaches us all some basic economics. I particularly like the discussion of efficiency, beloved of economists, versus resilience, which has suddenly become so incredibly important.

This article is a great example of framing climate change as primarily a technological problem, with studious ignorance of history/politics - a misdirecting frame helping Big Fossil.

This particular piece also has a number of misleading tropes. Worth analyzing in depth! (Thread)
