“Some ideas are so incredibly asinine and destructive that you’ll of course find some high-brow academic movement that promotes them. Such is the case with something known as ‘degrowth’ — a burgeoning philosophy arguing that humanity’s continuing pursuit of economic betterment is unsustainable and a threat to the planet. Popular among environmentalists, it’s a predictable end point for some climate-change warriors. … Degrowth is unlikely to become a governing model anytime soon, but it’s best to debunk dangerous idiocy as it rears its head.” (10/20/24)
