I read selfishness, apathy, and greed a bit differently. Stress reactions look like those things. If you want the common citizen to lift his/her head up and look to the future, you must reduce their stress level. And that, we do have some ideas about how to accomplish.

Agreed. My point is only that stress encourages short term thinking, and that stress on the poor and middle-class is both chronic and increasing. If people are going to think and act long term, they need the sort of mental space to support that.

green authoritarianism requires that one think in the kind of long term that's bounded by a small number of human lifetimes. if you actually think long term, you realize that sustainability, like survival, is a goal you can only fail at

Eh, there’s lots we don’t know. Human ingenuity is not yet exhausted. Might we ultimately meet with failure? Sure. Roll the bones.

sure, what the heck. i'm just against sacrificing everything else on the altar of survival, including the development of a technical civilization advanced enough that it could conceivably do anything about the 2LT because that's not ~sustainable~
