ENERGY-SUBSTRATE SCALING: IS CIVILIZATION ANTITHETICAL TO NATURE? (Energy-Substrate Scaling: A Unified Theory of Complexity) - Softcover
Book 2 of 3: Energy-Substrate Scaling: A Unified Theory of Complexity
Synopsis
"Civilization is not an innocent passenger on Planet Earth but a metabolic system inherently geared towards expansion and entropy, making conflict with finite natural systems inevitable. It is an unsustainable experiment in societal complexity, antithetical to human nature and ecological reality. This inevitable cycle of growth and collapse, driven by energy-intensive sedentism and ecological drawdown, is a form of societal insanity. Halting it requires a conscious, radical reorientation towards resilient, nomadic-inspired models of human organization."
This book is the ecological test for the Energy-Substrate Scaling theory. This book tests the theory against the broadest possible biological and ecological backdrop. It argues that the "civilizational illogic" is a specific, high-energy aberration from the sustainable cycles that govern the rest of the living world.
“Is Civilization Antithetical to Nature?” redefines the definition of civilization and provides a deeper insight as to what it means to have a civilization within the contextual boundaries of the biosphere as well as the impact of the human condition.
