The Ethical Importance of Development
One of the lessons of human history is that the deveo developmental process, if not used for the traditional darwinian imperative, is available for other uses. Atoms are different than bits. Atoms have a som somewhat finite feel to them. Bits feels effectively infinite. So to the extent that we can move things from atoms to bits and not be coupled to a market system where you have this problem of tha abundance creates public goods and services, which causes markets to fail. But then something else succeeds in its stead. That we can start to have abundance, particularly where we decouple and learn more about recycling,. so that finite resources are much better appreciated for what they are.
