Abstract

After learning to regard the world as limitless, man finds himself now in a world that has limits. Various modes of adaptation to ecologically inexorable change have arisen. One of these, faith that technological progress will avert major institutional change, rests upon the same kind of foundation as the Cargo Cults of the south Pacific. It is a millenarian belief based on a little knowledge and much ignorance. It impedes recognition that in a runaway world technology reduces rather than enhances the habitat's carrying capacity. It results in pathogenic prescriptions for the world's ills.
