- Bright Green – Living Future 2010: James Howard Kunstler – Once we understand our psychological barriers to change, we can see our problems and respond intelligently with workable solutions. Kunstler made an interesting distinction between “solutions” and “intelligent response.” He thinks that most people who talk about ‘solutions’ are really saying “give us a bunch of solutions so we can continue living the same way we’re living” now. In contrast, he said, intelligent responses are solutions that respond to “the circumstances we face” and come from an understanding of the underlying psychology of problems and the reality or limits of what solutions can do. For example, in Kunstler’s view, electric cars are a ‘solution’ to the end of “happy motoring,” but also a waste of time and resources; an ‘intelligent response’ would be to plan and invest in “walkable communities that exist in meaningful relation to productive agriculture.”
