The problem is being ruled by Excel spreadsheets and the MBAs who wield them. Who, strangely, seem to be in some sort of oddball alliance with the build-nothing do-nothing degrowth left. Excel knows nothing about will and changing the shape of the possible. Much of what we do now was said to be impossible not long ago; our goal now should be to make our current selves look just as clownish in the future.

Anything else is a failure.
