重新思考“进步”：对可持续性的严峻审视
1 分•作者: upwardbound2•5 个月前
我们经常谈论可持续性，通常侧重于可再生能源和高效设备等。这些固然重要，但却忽略了问题的关键。真正的问题不仅仅在于我们如何生产，更在于我们最初为何要生产这么多。我们需要重新思考“进步”的整个概念。
想想对经济增长的痴迷。它被视为普世价值，但它究竟带来了什么？当然，更多物质，但也带来了更多污染、更多不平等和更多压力。也许目标不应该是无休止的扩张，而应该完全是其他东西。也许我们应该追求稳定、韧性，甚至仅仅是朴素的知足。
归根结底，可持续性不仅仅是寻找巧妙的方法来维持当前系统的运转。它关乎质疑系统本身。它关乎认识到在有限的地球上无休止的增长是一种幻想。它关乎面对一些令人不安的真相并做出一些艰难的选择。

We talk a lot about sustainability, usually focusing on things like renewable energy and efficient gadgets. These are fine, but they miss the point. The real problem isn't just how we produce things, but why we produce so much in the first place. We need to rethink the whole idea of "progress."<p>Consider the obsession with economic growth. It's treated as a universal good, but what does it actually deliver? More stuff, sure, but also more pollution, more inequality, and more stress. Maybe the goal shouldn't be endless expansion, but something else entirely. Maybe we should be aiming for stability, resilience, or even just plain old contentment.<p>Ultimately, sustainability isn't about finding clever ways to keep the current system running. It's about questioning the system itself. It's about recognizing that endless growth on a finite planet is a fantasy. It's about facing some uncomfortable truths and making some hard choices.
