Too Expensive to Exist

The sentiment behind this post is, I fear, felt by too many normal people in the world today and not enough leaders. This is usually due to the network graph of leaders (above a certain scale threshold) being correlated with the most out of touch and wealthy - they are the last to hear about the insurance rates for campgrounds. That said, the keyword used more than once in this post is "impotent". There is simply nothing the majority of us can do. And that worries me for obvious reasons.

The problems he describes all fit into three buckets * Insurance industry rent-seeking * Ennui (literal definition: not getting enough mental sustenance from things that previously gave enough) * Symptoms of grossly rising population densities (most of the complaints raised there) I don't want to relitigate Malthusianism but the laws of supply and demand do apply to the space we occupy and would like to roam around in as much as anything else. With food scarcity mostly abolished (until this year incidentally, the 2026/27 winter will be terribly bad for humanity) the Malthusian pressures all went away, leaving the human race to operate inside of the overshoot loop dynamical system instead: https://jayhansonsdieoff.net/overshoot-loop-evolution-under-...
