Not long ago America telephoned Europe via 175,000 tons of transatlantic copper cables. Now a single quarter-ton communications satellite does the job better, faster, clearer, with more bandwidth and a fraction of the energy. It occurred to me that if we keep on doing more and more with less and less, we might someday do so much with so little that we can take care of everybody. It no longer has to be you or me. Selfishness is unnecessary and henceforth unrationalizable as mandated by survival.
War is obsolete.
