  • But there’s about enough housing for everyone too… Just that it’s of houses are sitting empty across Europe, North America, and China.

    And lots of the food wasted in those places (minus China) is imported from places with less food security, such as Brazil, India, and Morocco.
    So it’s almost like the energy use and infrastructure is already part of the problem and solving it would take less.

    My point is that Malthusian was never correct, and the problems are ones of distribution. Not number of humans. (And Malthusian worries tend towards genocide naturally, that they’ve been shown consistently to be wrong should make them doubly suspect.)

    It’s not though, seeing that a very large proportion of the world’s population get by, and that about 1/3rd of all food produced for human consumption is wasted each year. (Checked the UN source it’s 19% of food that makes it to people, and 13% of food pre-end point in the supply chain).

    And this is without starting to consider the energy inefficiency of feeding livestock to feed to humans.

    Also an awful lot of the world gets by with much less than US or much of Western Europe does. There’s a long way between our surplus of food and food insecurity.



  • The mainline story was pretty good this time.

    Tezz exposition dumping and explaining himself seemed out of character, and the hand hole stuff was a bit arsepull-y, but beyond that pretty solid.

    Decent characters, good plot than didn’t mess the ending.

    Solid work overall. Enjoyable, engaging, and showed the setting off well. Lots of stuff I liked.
