Adversary : Technosolutionnism

Informations[1]

  • Technosolutionnism does not negate socio-ecological problems nor their human origin

  • Technosolutionnism is serious (research and development is for real)

  • Technosolutionnism is humanist (it aims at the well-being of human kind)

But...

  • It is a bet

  • It is a non secure bet

  • It is a all-in bet

  • Those who bet are not the first exposed to consequences

And...

  • Prevents us from thinking about the problem differently (e.g. individual car)

  • Fails to take account of complexity (e.g. monoculture)

  • Minimize of indirect effects (e.g. rebound effect)

  • Incorrect time scale, if we also recognise the urgency of taking action to reverse the trend (e.g. carbon capture)

  • Fails to take account of the effects of generalisation on a global scale (e.g. nuclear power)

  • ...

Fondamental

So we might have :

  • alternatives paths and voices

  • the democratic possibility of choices

  • the possibility of changing our minds depending on what really happens in the future (« Everybody knows... That's how it goes...»)
