I have just heard Lord Puttnam in Durham Cathedral on the need to return to pre-Modern societies for the sake of the climate. How dare he come to the spiritual heart of an impoverished county still standing on vast reserves of coal, and come out with that!
We demand high-wage, high-skilled, high-status jobs, including as the economic basis of paternal authority in the family and in the wider community. We demand mass opportunities to travel. We demand universal access to the meat that is part of our natural diet. We demand economic development in the poorer parts of the world. We demand the unfettered right to reproduce on the part of working-class people, of non-white people, and of people in the developing world.
We demand chariots.
And we demand fire.
