Conclusions
![Page 95: On Being a Student, and a Citizen, and a Human, in the Anthropocene UBC Vancouver 10/14/2014 Nathan John Hagens, Director: Bottleneck Foundation, IIER,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e245503460f94b13648/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
1) Money is a marker for energy and natural resources.
2) For most people growth is already over.
3) There is no shortage of energy but a longage of expectations.
4) Biology determines what we need, culture determines how we get it.
5) We’re heading for a lower consumption, more local and regional future.
6) We are still incredibly rich by historic standards
7) Our predicament is not technical, but socio-political
Conclusions
![Page 96: On Being a Student, and a Citizen, and a Human, in the Anthropocene UBC Vancouver 10/14/2014 Nathan John Hagens, Director: Bottleneck Foundation, IIER,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e245503460f94b13648/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
1. More skills and knowledge applicable and relevant to a future with ‘less’ stuff and ‘more’ environmental constraints
2. We need detailed expertise and continued specialization, but perhaps the academy can stop rewarding hyperspecialization associated with reductionism.
3.Develop a holistic awareness of our human relationship to the natural world and use that as a basic platform from which you work
4. Don’t be afraid to have and defend an unpopular viewpoint. A highly-educated, disciplined mind is a terrible thing to waste.
5. Perhaps new rules for tenure track or successful businesspeople to have a prosocial ‘capstone’ project when they turn e.g. 60
Some Suggestions for the professors
![Page 97: On Being a Student, and a Citizen, and a Human, in the Anthropocene UBC Vancouver 10/14/2014 Nathan John Hagens, Director: Bottleneck Foundation, IIER,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e245503460f94b13648/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
1. Learn as much as you can and acquire knowledge. Especially in natural sciences
2. Start thinking, at a young age in terms of ‘real capital’
3. Observe, listen, experience and then think for yourselves.
4. We need technology (not new gadgets) to help us transition to a more sustainable arrangement with the planet and eachother. But this might equally come from the ‘demand’ side as from the ‘supply’. You have to be the key architects of how this unfolds
5. Someone (in the very near future) has to ‘wear the adult pants’ and look at our predicament using multiple lenses instead of just the one ‘profit’ lens.
Some Suggestions for the students
![Page 98: On Being a Student, and a Citizen, and a Human, in the Anthropocene UBC Vancouver 10/14/2014 Nathan John Hagens, Director: Bottleneck Foundation, IIER,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e245503460f94b13648/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
(some) Key Questions for young (pro-social) scientists1) How do we create an accurate biophysical balance
sheet of our natural resource and sink capacities?
2) How do we do the same thing for our human brain and evolved behavioral wiring?
3) How do we balance human needs between current and future generations? Between us and other species? Between those alive today?
4) How do we implement pro-environmental policies when growth/wages/profits are declining?
5) What do we aspire to, as a species? What do we want the future to look like? What are we willing to give up to get there? Anything?
