RUNNING WITH THE ISLAND 120 ….

If the Island 120 hypothesis is true, then to hit a Pareto Optimum for post-industrial civilization, 70% of population in production, 20% of the population in assets, 1% of the population in ideas, means that we would need to shift the distribution closer to 115 (closer to the early modern period’s, late medieval period’s, distributions). And that this process (winnowing) NEVER ENDS.

What does that mean? That means that the developed countries have a 50%-60% population surplus. And the developing or underdeveloped countries have closer to 80% – 90% population surpluses.

What does that mean? It means the total world population target is closer to the 1-2B ‘rule of thumb’ that looks more like the carrying capacity of the planet. Or the 500M-1B that looks like the optimum carrying capacity of the planet.
