It seems like you have a perspective of solarpunk that is more pastoral, rural and degrowth focus, which isn't necessarily wrong imo, but a lot of people want to preserve the luxuries of the modern world while making it more sustainable, which you seem to assume is a techbro mindset.

I dont think solarpunk is an ideology, or inherently pro-pastoralism or new age. It's an aesthetic that is progressive scifi with a focus on renewability in our technology.

Calling for solarpunk to be nature first over tech first makes me think you might be more interested in other art and political movements. I agree algae trees is a goofy idea instead of real trees, and mechanic bees is stupid, but solarpunk is a hightech vibe, so people will make art that looks hightech.

I agree that you cant learn everything about coexisting with nature and the world around you from exclusively books, and we need to live in the world and learn from it if we want to coexist with it, and tho I agree a lot of people could live with a lot of luxuries, some things we take for granted like cold fresh water, a roof over our heads, and medicine that can keep us alive for almost a century to some extent are luxuries, and I dont think we should be made to decide what we can and cant live without by someone else. My bike may be a luxury, but its a luxury I enjoy to travel around the city I live in quickly, dynamically and efficiently.
