Yes, I'd entirely agree, but also when you have classic models of
failure it shows you the systems elements available to put together a
different way. I have a lot of models for natural systems
solutions.
One that I didn't invent but is showing remarkable staying power is
the integration of hard measures, study of whole impacts and best
practices of holistic design and development that the architect's
sustainability movement is based on, the LEED model. There's lots
of room to reinvent stuff from natural system principles it seems to
me.

Trouble develops when the points of view that believe in suppressing
