  1. Define developed. In the west we are maximizing complexity, at the cost of resilience, and long term ecological health.

  2. This model is missing, the most important, and complex part. How do we go back to a clean environment, with biodiversity. While consuming so much? They are going in opposite directions. One is life, the other is, a more comfortable life for now. One example, wood burning in a local area. Is inefficient, energy in energy out, (economically) wise. But ecologically, can be sustained for a long time, it’s almost pollution and carbon neutral. Depending on the inputs. When X is brought out of a mine or well, and made into a product. It is a negative input, to nature. (Our long term health, and well being). Take a good look at the massive scale of pollution, coming out of China right now.
