In 2007 Alan Weisman wrotea book entitled The World Without Us. It examined
from a scientific SOM perspective what the world would be like without us:
skyscrapers would fall, dams would crumble, etc. We can do better from an MoQ
perspective. Imagine the human race dying out. As populations shrunk, there
would be diminished opportunity for division of labor. Survival would be
paramount: intellectual and artistic endeavors would fade away. Large scale
social institutions like nations and universities would devolve into villages
and one-on-one mentoring. Eventually there would be the last surviving person
straining to remember what made him human. And inevitably that person would
die. What would be left?
I iron filings still value movement towards magnets; amoebae still back away
from acid; platypi still mate with other platypi
II There is reality but no differentiation
III Reality ceases
The future of the MoQ depends on the answer.
