::Yeah probably that is the angle that would have to be tried to get at... if a link were to be made. As NJGW said Maybe a section could be inserted in the text which discusses movements which aim to mitigate a catastrophy and primitivism could be mentioned there (but since this is essentially a population issue, a sudden drop in technology levels worldwide would create an instant and artificialrather than organicMalthusian catastrophy).... Another section might list a bunch of alternative concepts... but still Anarcho-primitivism being in my opinion... a kind of political social movement... that is possibly a couple of steps from even mainstream hetorodox thinking, although I am familiar with Tainter and his ideas, and also some of the other well known advocates of this movement.
