Perhaps. I agree that self-based thinking is no longer helpful; more
of what got us into a problem will not get us out of that problem.

However, while I think thinking is very important, on the other hand,
one must watch for "paralysis through analysis" :-)

So, I suggest that people join or start a Transition Towns initiative
in their local area, and consider learning and practicing permaculture
design in their back yards.

Cheers,
Dave
