Without getting into an entire philosophical debate about it... I don't really agree that it's human nature to want more more more. Maybe it's a "trait" of some people, but it's obviously not just inherent in all of us.
You yourself (Cowperson) were talking just last week how you are a very "non-consuming consumer".
You quoted this line above: "sustainable societies freed from the myth that greed, competition, and mindless consumption are paths to individual and collective fulfillment" and said it sounded nice but ignores human nature. Does it? By the sounds of things, you actually do live that way. You are freed from the myths, correct? I like to think I am as well. Are we going against human nature? I don't think so.
