Thank you Pella. I got to meet Donella Meadows briefly before she died. I was a freshman in college, just beginning to comprehend the state of our relations to the rest of life. Blessings to you. -Adam

She is one of the very best. I have this notion, maybe I told you, that the best systems thinkers are all farmers? :) Amazing you got to meet her!

Yes, and I have been to the farm and community she founded many times in the years since she died. They milk a small herd of Jerseys and make remarkable cheese.

Excellent and beautiful analysis; humans have to have much more humility to admit that our dominating exploitive and damaging ways are harmful and destructive to us all. We humans are one of about 8 million species on Earth, the only one to not be in harmony with Nature, a living organism. And kudos to Panama for its rational and sensible decision.
