"It has to do with you reading Wells' 'The Passionate Friends', especially the chapter called: 'The Business of Mankind'."
"I have read it Master."
"Good. It says a very True Word there, yet, for the 1913ns, the year of print. Let me quote: 'I have long ceased to trouble about the economics of human society. Ours are not economic but psychological difficulties. There is enough for everyone, and only a fool can be found to deny it.'
It is true and we are not such fools, generally. But in 1913, the population was probably under 1 milliard. This means that we are at least 5 times as numerous. Now, when a family or tribe can just manage, it is very well possible to add another mouth to feed (a cause for the 'Breeding Storm'). But try to let them feed 5 times their number! Through destruction of our lungs (forests) and environment, we could make more feeding ground available. Yet, there is another problem. It is the real possibility that at some moment, all multiplication in agricultural growth, the 'one sack sown, gives two sacks reaped', may stop altogether.
Then, it is no longer a question of a tribe feeding 5 times its number, but of 'NO food'. This, naturally, leads to the nasty situation that mankind has to reduce by a factor 1000, in the Natural Way, i.e. by murder. No longer a psychological problem, but sheer cruel and nasty Nature."
