As soon as my lab assistant gets out of hospital and available for further alpha test sessions, I will be more forthcoming with details, but on another thread so as to not pervert this one and run afoul of the mod.

Indeed, history is a fact based methodology in so much as it examines actual events and patterns. I am curious though as to your opinion based on this formidable unit of measurement that is history, why mankind has so discounted the environment in which humanity depends on? Also the corollary question, why have we shown such lack of restraint in a materialistic pursuits and our procreation habits? You can divide this last question into two parts.

So when greed and conceit are failing, the only logical solution is more greed, and more conceit?
With logic like that, it's not the least bit surprising that our species is facing extincion.

Capitalism encourages monopoly and a big fish eat little fish mentality. It encourages excess of a material kind and encourages cheating, corruption, bribery etc. Why because it instills the glorification of greed and competition and thus makes winning at any cost quite logical and natural. This survival of the fittest environment leads ultimately to only a few huge winners and everyone else is a loser. Sounds familiar because that is precisely the world we have right now. As for your critique of socialist redistribution of capitalism, well I can only say if it were not for the vast wealth of the US and precisely this safety net, we in the US would be no different than any third world country. If you want to get a visceral sense of what I am talking about, watch "Wolf of Wall St" with Leonardo Dicaprio.
