Oh man Duncan did you nail it! It's heartbreaking to see so many well-intended but not fully informed people being lead down these paths. Then when they hear criticism of the path, they become even more disillusioned and a pummeled sense of agency and efficacy. I love that there is so much interest and desire in addressing challenging issues, but people always gravitate to the simplest and easiest path, which is often ineffective. This approach is exploding. I am at wits end about what I can do to counter it.
Terrific piece! 15/10 recommend ;)
