Thanks Stephen. This was a difficult one to write. You captured the difficulty very well in the appeal of the romantic vs hard headed pragmatism. This is the difficult two-lane simultaneous path. I also think it’s important to keep all the conversation threads open — a wide window — but that means a lot of potential confusion and indecision. We live in challenging times!
A terrific piece. You captured many of my quandaries, intuitions, and beliefs (which can be hard to sort out). I'm a Romantic at heart, but I've the head of a pragmatist. I get excited about projects of re-wilding, but I'm not in favor of massive famines! I believe that we have to go down two seemingly opposite paths at the same time. You captured the challenges quite well here. Thanks.

Fantastic clarity around some of the broad brush strokes in the environmentalist and climate movements. Really enjoyed this one.
