I would really appreciate a serious and respectful conversation between experts in the field. I have followed this debate for many years, but people are always talking ABOUT the other side. So I asked experts in favour of not aiming for growth and they say that they only get three kind of responses: Either none, or that others agree, or a response that is not convincing at all for a researcher, often straw man arguments.
And i tend to hear the same story from the other side, so i think EA might be the organization to arrange a high level conversation between experts about degrowth?
Can people please list who they think should be asked if an EA org wanted to host a debate? I don’t know who an excellent moderator would be, my first guess after not being very informed about the space is that Tyler Cowen would make a good participant on the growth side, and I don’t know enough about degrowth to even make a guess at who would participate for the degrowth side.
