I've always kind of seen it like a pile of people climbing on top of eachother, everyone trying to get up and above the crush. The question may not be whether it's right to step on other people, but whether there's something worth escaping at the bottom.
I've been reading an ecology book from 1973 -- mentioned how 70% of energy from the sun that hits the earth is turned into living material in tropical forests. Since 1973 we've lost 2/3 of those. That means the planet is currently running on about half the energy it had been in 1970.
Entropy is only kept at bay by constant input of energy. Now there's a lot less to go around. That means a lot less order on the Earth, and in terms of life, lack of order is completely identical to death.
Is it possible we're all crushing eachother down because of an ENTROPY DEBT?
And if a certain portion of the population is plain out fucked, is it wrong to struggle for your own survival?

Just a cheerful reminder.
