Stretching My Brain

Using your brain is a wonderful thing. I have recently been belaboring the lack of intellectual challenges in this course. Not that the idea of sustainability isn't dynamic and complex, but we haven't really been challenged with tough questions, seemingly impossible conundrums, and debate opportunities. Instead, we've been repeatedly told that the TNS Framework is so simple, so clear, that it is intuitively grasped. From a bird's eye perspective, this is true--I'm just ready to jump into the messy details.

Tonight I came across an article that just blows my mind. It's called Biological Adaption in Human Societies: A 'Basic Needs' Approach. It's complicated and challenging, but intellectually rigorous, with footnotes backing up every claim, a wealth of prior research, and compelling results. It wasn't until I read this (and I'm not even done yet!) that I realized how much I was missing this type of writing.

It feels so amazing to read something difficult and feel your brain working alongside the author.
