PHILOSOPHY : Eat the rat!
Jenn pointed me to feed the rat. I have to have a bit more of a read, and maybe get a copy of the book, but I am interested in their approach.
The only reservations I have about this stuff is that you can only do it if you happen to be a (relatively) wealth westerner. I don't see a slum kid from Brazil being able to endorse the philosophy. I'll have to read more.
I have a real problem with perceiving 'elitism' with things like cars (it would be patently ridiculous for all 6 billion people to have a car, but I should certainly be allowed to), computers (which are insanely polluting to make, but no one really thinks about that - why not create programs the whole world can use on their crappy recycled 486's?) and so on.
But, being the average human hypocrite, this doesn't mean i actually change my actions in the world (do I?)
