    If you had the choice of being born either into an impoverished life in a sustainable agricultural civilization, or into a comfortable life with internet, global transportation and healthcare close to the end of an unsustainable technological civilization, which would you choose?

        Depends on who you are, what you know, who your community is & what they know, what you & they aspire to be, what they want their community to achieve in 100 years, 1000 years, 10000 years... There are no absolutes here.

        Imagine you had the choice of leaving this life and continuing it in a world where the industrial revolution did not happen and the global human population was below 400M, would you take it?

        Extreme poverty means that the number of children you can have is limited by starvation. That is the condition that most animals are in, and which humans were in before the industrial revolution.

        This sustainable agricultural civilization seems hopeless. I definitely choose a world of chaos and opportunity where the most resourceful minds have an advantage.

        My answer to that question would change 3-4 times a day every day.

        I am an optimist believing in my own participation in an endless happy existence. That is why I choose the second option.

        the latter. What is and what is not sustainable is a question of technology. Our species can engineer its way out its predicament.

        Probably these are not the two discriminants = it would be indifferent, as long as I'm maximising the chances of the values I believe in, to persist in time
