Logic: The principle governing human intellection.

Its nature may be deduced from examining the two following propositions, both of which are held by human beings to be true and often by the same people: "I can't so you mustn't," and "I can but you mustn't."

-Chad C. Mulligan, famed sociologist

We can halve the global population in four generations (three if we limit lifetimes as well), that's unlikely to be popular or achievable without architecting an entirely different global society and then gulling those generations into thinking it's for the Greater Good.

We're currently adding another billion people every 12 years, the UN models the peak in the 2050's when it's around 10B. I doubt that will be pleasant. Only 250 years for Malthus to pay out.

Can't help myself found #StandOnZanzibar as a .lit of all things, converted it to #epub and now, yet another book added to the pile.

#StillReading #TheMongoliad

Just, finally, finished reading #TheDiamondAge by #NealStephenson

An interesting read that reminds me a little of #StandOnZanzibar by #JohnBrunner though I've only just thought that as I was typing this post.
