Might ‘community disentrapment programs’ be

possible ?if not, ‘it’s starvation and violencebut be encouraged, miracles are

possible

If there are more people on the land can support, AND they have nowhere to go, AND they have too few exports to exchange for food and other essentials, this is demographic entrapment.

Demographic entrapment ends in starvation and violence.

There are good reasons for thinking that most of Middle Africa is demographically trapped

So what is the present solution?Not to think about it to apply the tightest taboo –

the Hardinian taboo.... and let starvation and violence take their course

If you think about ‘carrying capacity’You have to think about what happens if it is

exceededWhich is of course ‘entrapment’So taboo both of them

“TABOO”

The taboo is profoundly evil,it is evil because it prevents anybody saying “Reduce your fertility or starve!”

‘Disentrapment’ is therefore ultimately‘a spiritual endeavour’

PHILOSOPHICAL PROBLEM:

Are we justified in disturbing ‘mega-evil’ in the hope

of achieving ‘mega-good’

The taboo is profoundly evil,it is evil because it prevents anybody saying “Reduce

So what then might be a ‘Community disentrapment program’ for a crash demographic transition ?

• Lifting the taboo• The recognition of entrapment by the UN agencies

and NGOs• Massive publicity• Dialogue with the churches• Adoption of the policy by government• New initiatives: ‘Disentrapment by mobile phone’ ?• Your ideas...!!!
