What we are trying to do is find a way to live that doesn't break the laws of nature. We, as humans, have been breaking the first law I listed for the past 10000 years or so. We can see the results. Exponential population growth and all the social effects that go with such overcrowding. We lived for hundreds of thousands of years with out ever producing such a population explosion, but our recent model of "civilization" has produced unprecedented population growth. This is a result of the philosophy behind our agriculture. The whole point of farming is to produce an excess. Excess food results in population growth. ALWAYS!
We can't go back to the way we lived 10000 years ago. We have changed the world too much (and we wouldn't want to anyway.) So, my quest is to find a way forward that doesn't break the laws of nature.

You are a farmer. Does your way forward include agriculture in some form? If so what system of checks and balances will keep you and other farmers who follow your way from producing an excess of food?NR
You write very well.
