    I am the OP of the permies.com link.

    I don't think wood contains carcinogens, and neither does cellulase. Why not eat the wood? We can build a new society where everyone is doing open-source coding and science research, perhaps even with a "Bureau of Simplification" to allow individuals to fabricate daily technologies.

    By the way, the reasons given by the permies themselves can be seen on the second page; I summarized them in a chart.

    But I want to know the software engineer side of things. Why not a cellulose-based society?
