Malthus was wrong.
We make MORE food than ever with LESS land than ever. Because we have one inexhaustible resource—
Human ingenuity.
We Should Be Measuring Well-Being Catalysis, Not (trying and largely failing to measure) Economic Productivity

Progress is mostly about what does not happen. Progress means a 92-year-old who did not die today, a boy who was not robbed on his way to school, a 12-year girl who is not married to a 30-year old man, etc. What did not happen does not make the news. The best parts of civilization don’t get headlined.
