Sorry, But This Straw Man Takes Us Nowhere

What you call a, “false dichotomy of developed and developing,” is not about ideas rather economic parity. If you want to go down this economic road you will need a more substantive case than the tired Malthusian “take four Earths to support 7 billion people.” If you want to stake out a symmetrical, universal problem that badly needs fixing it is the ubiquitous issue of primitive tribalism in all forms.

There is no bigger problem holding back the developing AND developed worlds from advancing civilization than tribalism. On my Medium publication, A Passion to Evolve, there is an article you might find interesting entitled, Our Human Stain

If you are interested something about idea and economic symmetry you might be interested in rmy articles, The Gods Must Be Crazy and Reducing Education & Knowledge Gaps
