>and finally constant renewal
Say that to the icecaps, ozone, forests, landfills of a nonrenewable planet. Getting the most out of life isn't rocketing through progression to rain ash on future generations. It's to unite as a planet and progress at a unified rate which does not supersede available resources but assures the next step before its taken. We as a species have shot for the moon with no coordinates and no plan for return.

Indeed that is the flip side I am not arguing for or against. What I am saying is that the west is the most outward looking self renewing civilisation to date: Bridging distances, inventing new weapons, letting everyone reinvent themselves in the marketplace. Eastern civilisation were always concerned with continuity finding your place etc.
Even your own universalist outlook on life is tipically western. Note that most easterners have no concern for people outside of their own groups which can be a virtue and a vice

Note that western countries are the ones leading the way in stopping this. Not China, Indonesia, India and saudi arabia. I am not arguing for or against but your critique of the west is in itself very western. You are using the internet right? You live a comfortable life? Would you like to return? Unless you live in the woods alone you do benefit.

Westerners are leading the way in stopping it like a cat cleans it's shit in a litterbox. They're the main cause of the problems, and the rate of attempting to fix them is exponentially slower than the rate of wreaking them. I'm still young, and I've already rebelled against my western lifestyle as much as possible by growing my own livestock and crops, processing my own waste into fertilizer, reusing much of my water and never using mother toilet and rarely the shower. I shop local, use a generator for most of my electricity and the technology I use is all off my phone besides a computer I use off line to practice coding and music production. I ride a bike practically everywhere I go and I probably only put a couple hundred miles on my car a year (long distance travel for family or with friends). I'm taking my steps to leave little impact. What are you doing?
