Around the 1800s there is a huge influence of colonization. Effectively inhabited areas were considered not to be inhabited as they afforded more economic value to colonizing countries for that time. The vital thing here is to consider the economy-time specification. The expansion of colonial powers resembles closely the same propagation that invasive species have on environment. Invasive species would effectively be homogenous species that take over a local ecosystem and reform it for their own survival at the expense of the indigenous ecology.
While in the context of humanity and climate collapse it is unequivocal that questions of morality and humanity are evoked. However when we evoke the principles of evolution we see a more clinical and mathematical pattern emerge. That is not to say that the moral failings are not worthy of consideration. However for academic reasons these questions of morality will be abstracted out of this analysis and only the mathematical issues will be considered.
It is the opinion of the author that, every child matters. It will always be the opinion of the author that either all life matters or life has no meaning at all.
Let us now look more analytically at how the constraints as they pertain to economics and colonization evolve to present day.
Once an invasive species has expanded as far as it can, initially it does not seem to achieve homoeostasis with its environment…
