@jasonhickel: The obstacle to degrowth in rich countries is not getting ordinary people on board. Proposals for economic justice, debt cancellation, decommodified public goods, shorter work week etc would improve people's lives. The obstacle is the rich. Some seek to obfuscate this fact.

@fermatslibrary: 1729 was the number of the cab that G.H. Hardy took when he visited S. Ramanujan in the hospital.
Hardy thought it was a "dull number" and Ramanujan replied "it is a very interesting number. It is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways". https://t.co/AgN8oJ1F4G

@jasonhickel: What we call "growth" is ultimately a process of enclosure, commodification, and elite accumulation. That anyone would regard this as a reasonable objective for the economy, or indeed as a proxy for human progress, is testament to the totalizing ideological power of capital.
