Brad mentioned Catton’s theory of response to overpopulation as “We must learn to live in harmony with natural systems…”, which is true enough.
In the details he talks about human values and not about how nature physically works, though.
It’s a major “red flag” to talk about solving physical system problems in terms of human system values. Our values are what we should use to motivate our learning about how the systems of nature work. Organizing to live by our own values is to act as if our social systems supersede nature’s systems.
