Need section on population growth. See michael email
Interesting article on population growth: http://news.mongabay.com/2005/0502-rhett_butler.html

Section on the economics of abundance
The fundamental positive (a sufficiency of space, material, intelligence, information) is matched by the fundamental negatives (the urge to populate until scarcity trumps abundance and the urge develop complexity, variation, embellishment and clutter, until intelligence cannot cope -- that is to experience the triumph of form over substance or mandarinism).
Simple solutions are resisted by the force of habit: for example we do not highly reward females who limit themselves to two children, nor do we highly reward effective simplification (an art that to date has lost the war against counter-productive complexity.)
