"Master, again, there is famine threatening in Ethiopia. Why cannot man come to terms with his environment on the planet?"
"It is the crooked Way of thinking. When you say: 'There is too little food for the people' it is different qua thought from: 'There are too many people for the food'. The latter indicates the mondial problem of overpopulation, the mondial solution of the One-Pro-Mille of population idea. Thus, the ten-year old Ethiopian boy you feed today, possibly trebles the same problem in ten year's time by procreation, yet, you cannot condition the food hand-out to a no-procreation order, unless ALL the world citizens are under the same condition. This, naturally, demands a WORKING world-government, that enforces a 'one child per couple per life' policy for ALL people. Malthus in his time was alert to the fact that the handing-out of food gives a power to the hander-out. This power should not demand anything else from the famine stricken than what ALL citizens are under on the planet. A world-government should guarantee a 'one square meal a day' to all citizens, yet demand 'no more kids than one per couple'. The people of Ethiopia have the basic right to be helped in their plight, and we all have the right to a decent world-government. That is the Way with fundamental ethics."
