I went to the green festival for the first time this weekend. I’m of two minds about the event. On the one hand, I think it’s great to see popular interest in environmental issues. On the other hand, the snake oil salespeople (many of whom doubtless believe in their products), purveyors of misleading psuedoscience, and overall lack of a broader framework or perspective for thinking about such important issues distresses me.
It was approximately what I expected.
Have you ever read Ishmael?
Not prior to you posting that link, no. =)
Does that mean you’ve read it since? What did you think?
I’ve read some of it since. The framing is a little cumbersome, but it sets the stage for the musings perfectly, and the musings are what it’s all about (at least so far).
The notions at this point aren’t bad. An alternate framing for the development of civilization. I’m not putting it down because I don’t like it, I’ll put it that way.
