Notice how elegantly this illustrates the Principle that
- the more our technology multiplies our effect, AND
- the more-crowded our world is,
THEN
- 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.
