Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

There’s probably some gold digger soccer mum kind somewhere in the world who’s pissed off the trims in the kitchen and bathroom are on the guitar and not in the house
