About mistakes it's funny. You got to make your own; and not only that, if you try to keep people from making theirs they get mad.

We don't think a sustainable society need be stagnant, boring, uniform, or rigid. It need not be, and probably could not be, centrally controlled or authoritarian.

It could focus on mindfully increasing quality of life rather than on mindlessly expanding material consumption and the physical capital stock.
