I have questions about whether Berry would own that relationship even if (big if) he were convinced carbin capture was beneficial.

But more importantly — chances are VERY strong that Berry transcends most of the categories you’re familiar with and a few that you aren’t. He’s an outstanding voice, and a worthy thinker for anyone to sharpen their own mind with or against. Though even where I part ways with him — for example, I was always going to buy a computer (and more computers) — I usually discover that there was a tradeoff and value worth defending on the other side of my choice.

Also, the overlap between his standards for technology and open source values is pretty high.

Wendell Berry is a pretty prolific activist and writer, and has been for more than half a century.

You would do well to fully understand his own stances before judging him based on how other people choose to interpret him.

You might come to the same conclusions, but they would be defensible at the very least.

I'd never heard of them before! But I'm sure some people that disapprove will come along soon enough to balance things out.

I know the author from Unsettling America.
