One way to manage your email overload...
12/17/2004 06:33 PM...is to simply make it someone else's problem. Here's the Out Of
Office -message from
a colleague:
Thank-you for your recent email.
Your message has been deleted from CutBoy's inbox, and all trace of it
removed from our server. He has no way of knowing the message even
existed.
So, if you still think that he will find the contents of your mail
important you are welcome to re-mail at a future date at your
convienience.
Sincerely,
Mail assistant to CB
I love it - resending the email when you even don't know when the
person is back causes a significant cognitive load to the person
sending it. Therefore, only the really important messages will be
resent, and thus, the problem of filtering out the good email from the
bad is distributed to the senders. Whee, practical applications of
distributed computing using human brains :-)

THE
POPULATION STRESS INDEX, AND SOME
SOLUTIONS
THE
POPULATION STRESS INDEX, AND SOME
SOLUTIONS
03/06/2004 02:08 AM

In order to test Edward Hall's hypothesis<
/a>
that population stress is the
fundamental cause of human violence and war, I decided to see if there
was a correlation between the state of civil unrest and the density
and
growth of human population in various countries around the world.
Using
data from the FAO,
I computed the population per arable
hectare of land for each
country in the world with at least a quarter of a million people.
Then,
using data from the Population Reference
Bureau, I mapped this to
annual population growth rates (%) for these countries. Initially, I
produced the scatter diagram shown below:

In this chart, about a third of the countries, those with annual
growth
rates under 0.5%, are excluded to keep it from being too busy. The
overall global population per arable hectare (4.0) and overall global
annual growth rate (0.8%) are shown by a large blue dot. The sustainable global population per
arable hectare (1.0, per a variety of sources I have cited in earlier
posts) and the sustainable overall global annual growth rate (0%) is
shown by a large green dot. No
country has achieved that sustainable level -- every country in the
world has either positive growth rate or a density over 1 person per
arable hectare.
Sure enough, the countries furthest from the green ideal point are
also, almost without exception, the most violent and war-torn
countries. At the far extreme, you find Palestine and Kuwait, with
Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt and most of the MidEast countries close
by.
In the upper central part of the chart you find most of the
war-ravaged
sub-Saharan African countries, led by the Congo, with its horrendous
and incessant war, Sierre Leone, where militias amputate their
enemies'
limbs as a symbolic warning, and Rwanda & Burundi, site of the
bloodiest massacre of the last half-century. Here, too, you'll find
Colombia, where anti-drug spraying and civil war have killed
thousands,
destroyed the economy and poisoned 80% of the arable land. And you'll
find Haiti, site of this week's coup, and several Central American
states that have witnessed horrendous warfare in recent years.
I then decided to multiply the two factors -- density and growth --
together to produce what I call the Population
Stress Index (PSI). The
calculations are shown graphically (I have tables if anyone wants them
as well) on the map above: Purple for a PSI over 10 (extreme), Red for
4-10 (very high), Orange for 2-4 (high), Yellow for 0.5 to 2
(moderate), and White for less than 0.5 (low).
If you were to correlate this index against the propensity for
violence
and war in the past few decades, I think you'd find a nearly perfect
match. What's more interesting is that if you repeat the exercise
using
data from a century ago, you find the major belligerants of the
world wars have the highest scores. By the middle part of the last
century, China, Vietnam and Korea had exceptionally high scores.
So what can be done to bring annual growth down to, and below, zero,
to
achieve globally a zero PSI, a situation that today exists nowhere on
Earth? In his essay How to Influence
Fertility, John R.
Weeks, Director of the Population Center at San Diego State University
suggests the following programs to reduce population growth, and
ultimately reduce global human population to the sustainable level of
one billion, no more than one person per arable hectare:
|
Direct Programs
|
Indirect Programs
|
| Enabling
Rational Choices |
- Provide full legal rights to
women
- Increase legal age at marriage for women
|
- Promote secular education
- Promote
communication between spouses
|
| Providing
Motivation |
- Payments for not having
children
- Priorities in jobs, housing, education for
small
families
- Community improvements for achievement of low
birth
rate
- Higher taxes for each additional child
- Higher
maternity and educational costs for each
additional child ("user fees")
|
- Economic development
- Increased educational
opportunities for women
- Increased labor force opportunities
for women
- Peer pressure campaigns
- Lower infant and
child mortality rates
- Child labor laws
- Compulsory
education for children
- Peer pressure campaigns
|
Making
Means Available
|
- Legalize abortion
- Legalize
sterilization
- Legalize all other forms of fertility
control
- Train family planning program
workers
- Manufacture or buy contraceptive
supplies
- Distribute birth control methods at all health
clinics
- Make birth control methods available through
local
vendors
- Establish systems of community-based
distribution
|
- Public campaigns to promote knowlege and use of
birth
control
- Politicians speaking out in favor of birth
control
|
It's certainly a solution set worth striving for. I am, however,
pessimistic that it's sufficient to overcome the enormous population
momentum that I've written about on these pages. Nor do I have much
confidence that, when we have an American regime that is hell-bent on
banning abortion again, which deprives foreign aid and support to
countries and agencies that practice family planning, and which
funnels
money to religious groups hostile to birth control, there will be
enough political will or economic investment worldwide to bring these
programs to fruition.
You would think that, when evidence indicates that overpopulation is
the key cause of environmental degradation, violence and war, and
human
suffering, there would be an unstoppable groundswell of support for
programs to reduce our population back to sustainable levels. But
that's the power of our culture: In the face of irrefutable proof of
its folly, we continue to chant the mantra of Growth.
Postscript: 3pm -- Just found
this
interesting site
from Matthew White, who tabulated the death rate from war and
atrocities during the period from 1975-2000, and conveniently mapped
it
like I did the PSI. His colour code is: bright red over 1% of the
population (extreme), dark red 0.1-1% (high), maroon 0.01-0.1%
(moderate), black under 0.01% (low):

Sure looks like a close correlation to PSI to me. I'll have to go back
and plug in his data to my table to calculate the r2
correlation coefficient, but I'm willing to bet it's very
high.

actually worse than it was?
This is ridiculous. In the past week I've received at least 4-5

compatible with qmail, but I don't have the time or knowledge to
actually get it installed... especially since I've been considering
buying a Handspring Treo 600 to check my email more regularly...
Although, I wonder if I'm getting more spam because of the social networks I've joined in the past
couple of weeks? Hmmm... I'm going to change those email addresses
now...
