Thanks. As with the usual anthropocentric and status quo biased solutions, it doesn't address the question of what humans are good for in context of our environment, only how to set some arbitrary level of "sustainability".

This does a better job of explaining:

Sustainability vs. Regenerative

Granted, the Steady State goal is noble in a world based on perpetual, unfettered growth, so there's that.

We've been so conditioned to the competitive growth philosophy and resentful pursuit of "More", that driving the bus toward the cliff at a steady 100 mph looks better than accelerating toward the cliff.

With rich men driving, humanity will never turn around to go back and ask directions.
