He is wrong that it can be restrained, because the effective action of aggregation, which is fuled by the habit of power housekeeping, is the ad hoc method of human nature. He also describes Alinksy relational power theft. There are any number of entrance points into an institution and there is no virtue in hiding intentions. Who knows what is good or bad as time tells. The self moderating processing of natural resources is an XY economic governor. The analogy is having the Captain on deck with the staff or in the engine room watching the gauge. I would suggest that a cause is only as lost as its habitat is uncomfortable. The response to that is better rewards. For instance, for those people willing to give up having any children, they should be rewarded with basic subsistence. In that way population control gets an effective regulator. Resource does not have to be the limiting factor but can be a motivation. Methods like rewarding consensual sacrifice works too. 7 billion doubled is 14 billion, let’s say that the cost of that is many times above what I’m suggesting. At best Teds writings are an alert of the likes of An Inconvirnient Truth. For Lifeboat to pick up the pieces of society and exposing them to academic rigor and make something useful of them is quite interesting. For that we thank Eric for the great platform of Lifeboat.
