The impact of a civilisation is not solely dependent on its population size.
With regard to the extraction and utilisation of resources, it is possible to hypothesise that a reduction in the number of people could result in a doubling of the current impact, or alternatively, that a doubling of the population could even result in a reduction in the contemporary sum of errors.
The concept of loss, reduction and scarcity could be more effective in initiating transformation when they are perceived in conjunction with coherent and sustainable positions that lead to a heightened awareness of the act.
Any form of imposition has the same destructive effect as the absence of it altogether.
These pedagogical questions are defined by the way in which we fail to embed the terms from the political system. We should instead treat them as ubiquitous elements in the propagation of an approach to a simple problem being more efficient in the observation of the status. Thinking in systems detracts us from focusing in the individual component, which does not represent the entirety of the hypothesis or problem.
This pervasive and highly influential approach to the way we perceive the world is, in most cases, absent of any tangible action. Academic discourse is not practical and practice, is not sufficiently academic. I believe this is due to the lack of time for contemplation and consideration of the perceived phenomena which inevitably leads to oversimplification of our complex field as inhabitants of the world.
Altering our axioms could improve immediately the global system.
Stop building altogether in a sequence of intervals are just an example on how to reset the paradigms. This refocus on optimisation instead could have short term impact on everybody by proving the concept and therefore accepting the problem and in the long term by acknowledging the benefits of a simple act in a larger process of axiomatic transformation.
The possibilities are endless but the mechanism remains the same: by losing we are able to acknowledge the fact we must improve. Loss is very powerful as it suggests both the lack of something but also the systematic decision to evolve from it.
We can thrive from loss as the term can rehabilitate itself in the urgency and graveness of the current crisis.
Loss is not always a negative factor of life.
