And I thought, oh my God, that's the magic key. It's like you can solve the problem of poverty, abject poverty, not relative poverty, the devastating form of life-threatening poverty, opportunity-destroying, stunting poverty, and you can solve the environmental problem at the same time. Like, why wouldn't you do that? That's such an opportunity.

Right, right. So then when we aggregated together ARC, one of our foundational platforms, this intermingling of energy and environment was, well, we need to change the, we certainly need to change the scarcity narrative, the Malthusian narrative. We're not gonna run out, folks. There aren't too many people on the planet.

There isn't finite resources in the way we conceptualize them and the way we conceptualize that because resource itself is a fungible, I think the idea of natural resource is essentially a Malthusian and Marxist idea at its core. Right? Natural resource. Yeah, like what? Air, maybe. Maybe air. Because you can just breathe it. You still have to expend the energy. Right? Clean water?

No, that's not natural. That takes a lot of work. A lot.

Every time, every time. Well, that's also where people kill and eat all the animals when they starve, right? And you only have to do that once. So there aren't any animals.

It's so perplexing to me. Because, see, I've tried to trace it back. And a lot of this comes out of the scares, the environmental scares of the 1960s, combined with the biologists' insistence that Malthusian realities dominate the world. And they're The environmental concerns of the 1960s had some grounding, but they were the kind of concerns that would only emerge in a rich country.

So that's the first thing we might wanna notice that. When Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, the fact that our industrial processes were creating a certain degree of havoc in some specified ecosystems was the sort of thing that wealthy people could afford to worry about.
