I think you are confusing exposure with productivity.


Since the manifesto advocated taking down industrial society and that hasn't been done, it's hard to judge the productivity of the thing while the outcome isn't known I guess.


Like I said:

>I think it has been long enough to say that the bombings were not productive.

We can revisit this conversation in another 30 years if you wish.


He's had a huge societal impact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrowth. The lack of apparent "productivity" is caused by forces beyond anyone's control (nature of market economies, etc.)


Oh wow, you're attributing this ideology to Ted? There is a long history.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthusianism


I will say that Ted's manifesto certainly inspired me to work on degrowth and alternative ways and I know quite a few others too.
