Enough (McKibben)

May 28th, 2007  |  Published in Progress, Consumerism, Quotes, Culture, Technology

We need to decide that we live, most of us in the West, long enough. We need to declare that, in the West, where few of us work ourselves to the bone, we have ease enough. In societies where most of us need storage lockers more than we need nanotech miracle boxes, we need to declare that we have enough stuff. Enough intelligence. Enough capability. Enough.

–Bill McKibben, Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered Age (2003), 109
