| Diagram of the "advanced intelligence perspetive" from American chemical engineer Libb Thims' 2008 book The Human Molecule. [1] |
“Start with atoms and thermodynamics and to slowly zoom back out to the millimeters-to-miles distance regime [as a Martian might see us on Earth] and examine the world in which [you] live with a fresh perspective based strictly on well-established, non-controversial scientific knowledge [and] use this information as a foundation upon which [to] decide how to spend the remainder of [your] lifetime.”

I think that it is important to emphasize that my reference to "Martian" does not suggest that there is life on Mars but to emphasize that we as humans can pull back from our "middle world" here on Earth and view our urban landscapes objectively. Some, such as Charles Galton Darwin (grandson of the famed naturalist) was pessimistic about population growth on a finite planet and our ability to avoid a Malthusian catastrophe. See his 1952 book, "The Next Million Years". He would have been pleased with the Green Revolution which has bought us some time, but horrified at the idea of World Population being predicted to top 9 billion in 2050.
