A return to the Dark Ages is always possible. You just have to put people who write for The Guardian in charge of everything.

Liberals will be elated to conclude that cleaning horseshit from the streets and stables are “Green Jobs.”
Does cleaning human shit from the streets qualify too? Seems there’s a lot of it around these days!
The Time machine analogy.
The UK natives will become Eloi and will turn to grazing. The new Muslim and African Invaders will team up, become Morlocks and eat them.
Problem solved.
Countries are free to do this. Nobody is stopping them. He’s a kook.
Electing people to be “in charge of everything.” is the best idea we’ve ever had!
one might be under the impression that Tim Jackson doesn’t provide anything to the “local economy” with his 1″ thinking, but he’s not alone, and there is no plan to cut those jobs to increase our prosperity.
Jackson is an entitled twat protected from the consequences of his ideas by his university tenure. It’s an unpleasant fact that university tenure has become an invincible protection of useless ideas from the wrath of the public. Jackson needs to be exposed to the concept, “you’re a complete idiot, your ideas are worthless, and you’re fired.”
its the saaaaaame bloody thing every time with these half wits.
they fail fail and fail again to realize enormous truths; were his vision prevail, there would be no large edifices called universities.
it takes centuries of intertwining disciplines skills, and WORK to for instance, perfect the formula for making the concrete and bricks and metal parts that go into the buildings called university.
to lay down the sanitary and storm sewers that much much further down the line ‘join up’ again.
perfecting the means of making window glass that lasts and is clear to being invisible. that goes in the window frames. about half a million counting all the universities in n america.
and for this privileged tenured thing to pontificate, musing about some idylic existence where the whole civilization rises or falls on all of us mastering making baskets.
or what-the-f-ever
Oh yes. In a world run by Jacksons, there will be open sewers in the dirt tracks that pretend to be streets and highways. We have a real life illustration of this. It’s called Los Angeles where they have raw sewage running down the street from the tens of thousands of homeless.
It would be amusing to discover how Jackson intends to build a house for himself. Or will he simply hide in a cave.
Homeless slave labour purchased for a steady diet of weak stew will cut and haul the stone and build their benefactor’s castle.
Throw money at it. If that doesn’t work, throw more money. Repeat as often as required.
Turn in your smartphone or STFU.
If you want to make the world a better place, do both.
Nasty narcissistic nanny ninnies never nearing nirvana.
Miserable megalomaniacs.
Angry when out of power.
Jealous when in power.

So … they’re admitting Trump’s tariffs are actually GOOD for the planet? Forcing Western Nations to focus – locally. So these people must LOVE Trump? Right?
Here is where I remind you that only a few weeks ago … Trump Tariff Tantrum hysteria … and the coordinated, purely politically-motivated, mass SELL-OFF of the market cratered the Dow to 37k points. Creating the Daddy of all buying opportunities!! TDS PAYS!!! When you recognize it for what it is. It’s as predictable as a daily CNN expose’ on Trump’s “failings”.
Dow at 41,693 + 579 points just today!! Thank you Trump-hating TDS’ers … I’ve “made” more $$$ in the shortest period of time in my entire life. For doing NOTHING. Well … nothing EXCEPT … understanding the FAKE behavior of TDS and understanding the so-called “experts” who have predicted nothing but DOOM and GLOOM as a result of Trump’s leveling of the world economic playing field were utter FOOLS.
Now those “experts” have dumped and pumped … they took profits from an irrationally overheated market, dumped stock to make retail investors HATE Trump, then bought stocks back at artificially depressed prices. The shock and awe of the crashing markets were so utterly contrived to hurt Trump. So easily predictable. And I made only a tiny, minuscule fraction of what these giant corporate Trump-haters have just made. All FAKE. All CONTRIVED. As contrived as a Canada PM election.
Coincidentally, midway through my exploration of her top 5 novels I just started George Eliot’s Silas Marner.
An old friend and bandmate has progressed from communism to libertarianism. In earlier daze he always talked about the futility of “stuff”. Oddly he is a serious collector: a large book collection and about 40 guitars.
As Maggie Thatcher said, “It’s a funny old world”.
“Ecological Economist” is the punchline to a bad joke.
an ecological econommunist
Well, England, Canada, Australia and now the Vatican have likely embarked on exactly that course of action…
