Notice how elegantly this illustrates the Principle that

1. the more our technology multiplies our effect, AND
2. the more-crowded our world is,

THEN

3. the more our-action impinges-on/affects/dents others' lives!

THAT is why the more powerful our technology is AND the more-crowded our world is, the more our own responsibilities embiggen & our self-centered rights ensmallen,

& the responsibilities of civilization-as-a-whole AND the rights of civilization-as-a-whole both embiggen, see?

It isn't an ideological or political question, at all!

It's simply a systems principle.

No "flag" or "identity" or "ideology" changes it!

It just is!

Any person being the sole bush-person living on an entire continent, can be as irresponsible as they want, & Nature will simply erase them, when they're gone.

But civilization, enforced through industrial-technology, can BREAK Nature's viability, planetwide.

This is why The Great Filter ( the next 6-decades of ever-escalating global deathmatch )

FORCES world-species to choose between REACTING ( ideology/prejudice/assumption-river-aka-"religion"-including-atheist-fundamentalism ) vs Correct-Reasoning paradigm!

IF populations won't accept that systems-principles rule, THEN .. populations enforce self-extinguishment.

At any scale, all the way up to ALL of humankind.

It's our own self-centered ignorance, that is the real opponent of our species' viability, nothing "other".

How cleanly this example illustrates the principle.

Beautiful.
