THIS PAGE This True Sustainability page is my personal long-term commitment to
the development of sustainability theories and frameworks with the purpose of
better reflecting the systematic nature of development issues that started in
1998 and continues today. The ideas presented or to be presented here will
reflect mainly my qualitative comparative view of the issues. The core values under which this True Sustainability page will operate
are independence, cooperation, sharing, flexibility, simplicity, and respect.
Independence is needed to be able to really push and pull the strings of past
and current knowledge regardless of source and to minimize biases;
cooperation is needed to optimize scientific discourse, especially
methodological discourse; sharing is needed to ensure the accessibility and
the dissemination of ideas; flexibility is needed to be able to fit our views
and framework to the different levels of development in a holistic and
consistent manner; simplicity is needed to increase the replicability
or adaptation of ideas according to circumstances; and respect is needed to
ensure that we all have the same opportunity to be heard and same
responsibility to listen. The structure of the page, reflects two sets of components, external components and internal components. The external components are This Page; Personal Information; My Views; and Talkback. The internal components are Society; Economy; Environment; Sustainability; the connection of Society and Economy; the connection of Society and Environment; and the connection of Environment and Economy. Notice that sustainability is at the heart of the figure like a central force linking different forms or degrees of development. Welcome to the True Sustainability page and please send me your comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- True
Sustainability is not consistent with
traditional views such as
maximization and self-interest.
