“The world is not overpopulated at 8.3B, and Malthus was wrong” Well, if a mere closure of the Strait of Hormuz collapses the global supply chain for fertilizers, revealing the world’s overreliance on them to feed people in excess of the natural carrying capacity of the land, then it looks like Malthus wasn’t too far off

I’m struck by the short-sightedness that characterizes the current zeitgeist — as observable in international relations, domestic politics, monetary policy, extractive business practices, and, parochially, zero-sum crypto games. Our ability as a species to forecast / model / predict the future has never been better. We can see in full 4K resolution the damaging consequences to the human project of acting tribally, selfishly, and in the pursuit of short-term outcomes. There’s no place on Earth where the cost of our negative externalities remains hidden for long. It’s all transparently available in orderly datasets and visual evidence that propagate at the speed of the electron. And yet we indulge. It’s almost as if our ability to live longer, and to travel quickly far and wide across the planet, was now inversely correlated with our ability to plan and coordinate for the long view. We’re just building a better, faster, mightier Moloch. Was that always the plan? Are we forever captive of our own vicious primate tendencies, like the scorpion stinging the frog?
