POPSLaws of Sustainability (3) Following Bartlett's logic, it's a case of do or die (if not, do and die), if not on the level of the individual, then on the level of humankind. People need to start to care for themselves (and others!) on the level of the species. The selfish individualism fostered by the consumer economy and the whole trash heap of economic growth theory needs to thrown overboard first, otherwise the boat will most certainly sink.

POPSLaws of Sustainbility (2) Bartlett does not say what to do, exactly. But he strongly implies that the first thing to do is stop having children and the second is to cut consumption sharply.

POPSLaws of Sustainability (1)
Thanks to Eric Snyder for this. I wanted to Amplify it a bit more (and classify it in our collections). Bartlett is brilliant and pulls no punches. For some of his other utterly complelling thinking on which these sustainability "Laws" are based. Here what we said in Clipmarks in 2007. "To understand the nature of accelerating change, see the Clips below. They show the statistical nature of the problem.

POPSGet Yer Merry On! Based on the latest warmal Algorithm, this month’s holiday lightup is probably going to cost us at least 1,500 polar bears! Speaking of which, anyone know what the lighting bill is at the newly green White House this year? “I’ve been doing it for six years,” said 26-year-old D.J. Damato, who each year trims his family home on 9 Butternut Road with more than 30,000 lights. “Little kids love it, and that’s kind of what keeps me going,” he said. Little kids love it? For Gaia’s sake! Frank Armata, a 30-year resident, began stringing his display when the neighborhood was still relatively dark. “I was the first on my street to set up the lights,” he said of his 25 Preston Road home. “Now, there’s competition … ” Can’t we all just get along? Not far away on 38 Bartlett St., there’s another amazing show. “I love lights,” said Felix Barcelos, 84, who has been decorating his house for three decades. BostonHerald http://bit.ly/4RWf

POPSGates: Obama 'More Analytical' Than Bush FTA: And as Bob Somerby put it: What actually happened after Bartlett made that DVD on the first Thursday night? Bush showed up in Mississippi and New Orleans the next day, telling “Brownie” how well he was doing, jesting about fixing up Trent Lott’s house, and joking about how he used to get wasted when he would go to New Orleans to party. This odd conduct was apparently too much for Thomas, so he simply invented a new story element; he simply pretended that Bush had been “shocked” when he watched the news Thursday night. And this morning, Meacham couldn’t wait to repeat the simplified tale.

POPSAri Fleischer on "the grid in front of" the President Of course they "knew what the questions were going to be" -- i.e., only "the ones they wanted to answer" -- because, as Fleischer explained last night, they only call on the journalists who can be trusted to pose predictable questions that the President would want to answer: only those favored-by-the-White-House journalists who were seated, as Fleischer said, "on the grid in front of you." That is how -- to use Cheney aide Catherine Martin's explanation for why Dick Cheney loved to go on Meet the Press and considered it his "best format" -- the White House "controlled the message": by only interacting with reporters they knew would adhere to their script, while excluding the disfavored ones relegated to "Siberia" (a very revealing and appropriate term for the White House to have used).
