In 1800, after receiving a complete inventory of the world's vital and economic statistics for the first time in history, Thomas Malthus, later professor of political economics at the East India Company College, concluded that the world population was increasing at a rate of geometrical progression, whereas life-support production was increasing only at a rate of arithmetical progression. In 1810 he confirmed this earlier finding. Thomas Malthus thus proved mathematically what people all over the world had innately believed since the beginning of human history, that there was an inherent inadequacy of life support on the planet and that the situation would become progressively worse.
"Pray all you want," said Malthus, "it will do you no good. There is no more!" A half-century later, Charles Darwin developed his theory of evolution, propounding that the inexorable processes of nature were the consequence of the "survival only of the fittest species and individuals within those species." Karl Marx compounded both Malthus's and Darwin's scientifically convincing conclusions in order to "prove" his predecided point, and said, in effect, "The proletariat are the fittest to survive, for they are the ones who know how to handle the tools and seeds to produce the life support. The opulent others, the bourgeoisie, are mere parasites."
The opulent others argued semi-rationally, "We are opulent and at the top of the heap because we have successfully demonstrated the Darwinian principle, survival of the fittest. The workers are dull-minded and have no vision. What is of essence for survival in this world is cunning, intellectual fighting skills, and farsighted enterprise." For the last century these two political/economic ideologies, communism and so-called capitalism, have dominated the political affairs of the world -- both coming from the assumption that there is not enough to go around.
However, missing in Malthus's theory was a critical understanding regarding the power of the human mind and consciousness, as well as consideration concerning the possible evolution of human knowledge. He disregarded or failed to see that knowledge could and did indeed increase at a geometric-progression rate that would far exceed the growth of human population, overcoming the seemingly inevitable paucity of life support on Earth. The advancement of scientific and technological knowledge, which includes the food-production/ distribution technology and the development of the birth-control pill, has long eradicated the once universal and seemingly inevitable inadequacy of life-supporting goods. In a world where there are sufficient numbers of producers who produce more than they consume, inadequacy of life support or overpopulation is categorically impossible. And once mysticism and neocheating are eradicated from the planet -- once the Neotech world comes into existence, each human being will always produce more values than he or she can ever consume, so that the impossibility of the inadequacy of life support or overpopulation will further become self-evident.
However, in spite of the clear evidence that humanity now has more than enough life support and everyone on this planet can be self-sufficiently wealthy if he or she works honestly and productively within his or her capability to produce values for others, the political neocheaters continue to propagate and exploit that age-old myth of inadequacy in order to stay in "power" and control the misguided populace. The religious neocheaters apply the myth of scarcity to their "Heaven" and say, in effect, "There is not enough space out there in the heaven, and in order to be the fittest to survive in that world, you must follow our teaching and donate your money and soul to prove that you are indeed worthy of survival after your death."
This is a clear example of creating problems where none in fact exist. The increasing sufficiency of life support on Earth indicates an entirely new era of human life and history: War is unnecessary. Governmental politics is unnecessary. All manipulation, deception, and physical force are unnecessary. In other words, neocheating in every form is unnecessary and in reality obsolete. For every man and woman can now live with an ever-increasing standard of living, and achieve genuine wealth, prosperity, and happiness through his or her own honest, rational, and productive effort, thinking, and action without ever destroying others. With Neotech and its complete annihilation of mysticism and neocheating, the one most able to survive -- the honest and rational individual -- now becomes what he or she deserves to be, the fittest to survive.
