I think there’s a version of the Malthusian trap that has explanatory merit - the idea that as population increased, you got diminishing returns from more people farming the same land. Population would therefore increase until famine, after which there would be good times until the cycle repeated. This cycle was broken by the industrial revolution.

The chicken assumes that the human will always care for it. Nature has not equipped it to deal with an intelligent predator.

Re:With No Inkling of the Contents: Viewing Narnia Through a Hindu Lens

There's a great book called 'Planet Narnia' (by Michael Ward, "the foremost living Lewis scholar") that argues (to me, very convincingly) that Lewis wrote the Narniad based around Medieval cosmology. Not the easiest read but, in my view, very rewarding and really provides insight into some beloved stories and how they relate to Lewis' religion.

Oh really, might read that. I read Black Man and enjoyed it. (possibly called something else if you're in the US, by the same author as Altered Carbon)

"Learning to be me" by Greg Egan is a short story that covers this very ground, it's good.
