Regarding “efficiency”

May 4, 2022

Screw you.

Let’s consider aboriginal life. It’s not efficient at all. They waste all kinds of time. When they gather food from nature they fail to take 99% of it. When they need energy and tap the sun’s radiation or the river-flow they are profligate and yet hardly make a dent.

Modern humans: Learn to live simply and there will be so much surplus that you won’t need to be overly concerned about “efficiency.”

(it’s a technocratic concept, anyway, only significant when we are imprisoned within the Technosphere)
