Agreed. It's a false binary. There's no solving the problems of climate change, ecological overshoot, etc; the "solutions" are Pollyanna-ish, so people turn to doomerism. Focus on mitigation. Every action pushes us one way or the other, if negligibly. In the aggregate, it all gets us where we are.

I hear you. I've made my living as a writer for over ten years, and that's been through publishing with independent (plus one trad imprint) digital-first pubs. But it's getting harder. The market can't absorb so much new product. I see trad as an escape hatch, though I could be deluding myself.
