James, it is my impression that over the last 2 million years, humans in africa have been doing just that,
where did all the resources they lived on all this time disappear?
anyone?

that is rooted in small communities and tribal society. it seems to me that african way of life survived just fine (for hundreds of thousands of years before civilization) without the concept of government, and when ever european social structure was introduced, it had horrifying consequences. im not at all sure that its possible to turn back the clock, but i would look into history of what worked in africa and try to learn from THEIR heritage, to construct a sustainable nature based nation.
the important lessons i believe we would learn could very well be implemented in the Western world.
A reply on Conversation: What is the most basic law of interaction between all elements in existence?
"Entropy is a thermodynamic property that can be used to determine the energy available for useful work in a thermodynamic process" wikipedia.
if you are interested in measuring how much energy u can get out of burning coal than i agree its a very useful method.
but to use this term to explain the formation of life sounds funny to me, figuratively its like explaining the growth in population through examining death rates...
which is a good example of how science culture and politics are intertwined.
i thought thats why some ppl invented the term Negentropy, to explain how elements in a system
influence each other, and turn into a solid pattern.. does entropy explain the formation of genes for example?
i found this talk about entropy http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/sean_carroll_on_the_arrow_of_time.html
i will listen to it and hopefully will understand better what you mean..
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
peace.

i think i get your point and it is a good one..
for there to be complexity and life there has to be separation as part of the system.
i also totally agree that total unity is of the system is impossible and dangerous to think about...
with that in mind,
would you say that the environment in the center of the sun, is a place that the forces of connection and repulsion are pretty much balanced? or is there a tendency towards more interconnection due to the fact that there is no place for the particles to escape, and so they have more chance to combine in different ways and create a more complex level of existence..
another question... does the collaboration of cells and bacteria that form an animal have better chances and longer life then bacteria and viruses such as the ones that cause disease?
in my eyes there is a difference of culture between the two.
one is coexisting and collaborative and the other self reliable and aggressive, i am very much interested if there is a difference in stability to the system.
i think its obvious that without collaboration on any elemental level, it is impossible to bring into existence the next level of structural complexity... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOU TIME !!! im so happy someone is giving me his thoughts.. apology excepted :) hope you will enlighten me...
