A Law with Strict Limits

So... Where did we leave off, ah... the Law of Limited Competition. This is that little overarching law of the survival of all living things on this planet. It has guaranteed or negated the survival of most every species, from the jelly fish to the diminishing polar bear. Unfortunately, this is the law OUR culture continues to violate since the conception of said culture.

You may remember that conception from my last post about the beginning of totalitarian agriculture. One of our biggest problems is that the culture of totalitarian agriculture is practiced my the majority of the developed world (East and West). The main issue though, is that our system is so far outside the capacity of resources in the food web. However, the law has allowances. It is stated here:

You (as a member of the food web) may take as much food as you like, but you may not wage war on your competition for the purpose of eliminating them, nor may you deny your competition access to its food. Totalitarian attacks this law for its don'ts specifically. Let's break this down a little with an example. Say, for example, that two types of birds feed on food sources C, D and E. Type 1 also feeds on food sources A and B. Since, sources A and B are only available part of the year, birds of Type 1 destroy the nests of bird Type 2 in and around the area they find food sources C, D and E. Eventually, birds of Type 2 die off and Type 1 no longer has any competition. This causes an explosion in the population of birds of Type 1. Because, as the law's parameters allow, the more food there is available to a species, the more that species will grow. This is exactly the case with US! Well, not us in general, but us in the sense that we follow what birds of Type 1 did, in every corner of the world and have for the past 10,000 years or so. If you don't see the correlation, just check out the article I plan to post as the example of humans not knowing what species should live, and who should die, which is the basis of our culture. It is the reason we have the confidence to think we are right and this is the right way to live.

I think I will leave off with those points. Now, we are about to get into the juicy stuff and I want to keep that separate from the facts I want to deal with. Next we will begin to break down Mother Culture in detail as a means to returning to our (Homo sapiens sapiens) rightful place in the world.
