Much of this episode, and future episodes, are inspired by The Great Simplification and the concept of ‘Energy Blindness’.
I am also reading Morgan Housels’ book, ‘The Psychology of Money’, https://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Money-Timeless-lessons-happiness/dp/0857197681
I mention these guys, as well as an older KEW episode, in this Episode.
Here I argue that nature provides enough. Probably the concept of enough doesn’t exist in nature because it almost always exists. Hoarding and gluttony don’t seem to be common practices in other species, or in any part of Nature. If we look to Nature, vis a vis the Acid Tests, to inform us about enough i would say this is an entirely human construct.
Kind of like Money. Or Status. Or Power. Funny how the concept of enough might be a human-centric idea and only inasmuch as it relates to something also created by humans.
This Episode seems to have spawned a lot of ideas I will develop in the next few Episodes. I hope you enjoy.
