Kicking the Can

Yep Steve, it's a robust argument for sure: *ecopopularism* is a shrewd label belonging to the same niche lexicon and survival manual as, eg, *amplified living*, *Bond villain*, *normalcy bias*, *transhumanism* and *ultratechnologies*.

Considered together such concepts are all part of a self-validating circular confection.

An overriding concern must be that this slow drip-drip of humbug and artifice is merely to defer mainstream acceptance of the Polycrisis, its implications and the urgent need to transition.
