Sustainable and Development. These sounds to me somewhat conflicting.
Developing something means generating entropy.
Therefore, sustainable means to throw the entropy that is generated through development away as distant as possible from us.
Herein, a self-proclaimed amateur scientist murmurs something that might have already been well stated by real specialists, in a way of pretending to know. But anyway, somewhat of a manner of ignorant yet eager to learn outlaw.
(But maybe reading this gives you a good distraction. )
Is everything necessary?
Everything which is presently available is really necessary? Is tobacco, as somewhat tangible example, necessary?
“But then tobacco makes up certain portion of economy and the tobacco economy supports people who need what is necessary therefore tobacco is necessary.”
Is this logic flawless? OK then,
what if tobacco is fully prohibited because it is considered unnecessary thereby people who are supported by tobacco economy are completely extinct? If those people are the consumer of modern communication network then having lost this considerable consumer block, the modern communication network, which might be one of necessary things, will be in the blink of extinction.
Is this scenario practical?
This kind of domino-effect is my very point in thinking of establishing a civilization in sophisticated balance. If minimizing CO2 emission needs to delete certain economic block, can other economic blocks be kept?

Feedback effect between each other; Technology, Economy, Manpower,
Of course, if energy or other industrialized system that are the source of CO2 emission are fully replaced with new system which CO2 emission is absolutely zero, then that sort of concern will be solved completely. But is that really possible?
The more sophisticated balance is sought the more manpower will be needed and thereby another phase of entropy growth might be caused.
The more streamlining of consumption is sought the further the vulnerability of economy might matter.
The above two could be in a feedback loop; The more manpower is mobilized, the further the vulnerability of balance will extend.
This could be a case in streamlining vs vulnerability of economy as well. Sophisticated is not synonymous to luxurious, of course. But can streamlined be really of innovation? After all, quantity matters, isn’t it? Otherwise, frugality overwhelms sophistication, civilization or innovation, maybe?
We all would be driven to return simply back to of primitive, obsolete and then rudimentary life if it were inevitable to resign innovation because of sustainability.
Quantity matters?
Does quantity matter? But knowledge is the vital tool for sophistication and civilization and knowledge is grown in an atmosphere of diversity. Diversity needs sufficient or say, large quantity. Is this true?
A specific work necessitates another specific work
Let’s Imagine, we are now enduring primitive life and then one of our kids is suffered from a kind of ailment which normally is easy to cure if it is modern world.
Although now we have knowledge on it, any facilities to cure it is no more available and therefore the kid died of it.
For Covid-19, vaccination was quite quickly developed as we have the knowledge on what is virus and how it can be mitigated and how to produce vaccination. Of course, not only the knowledge but also facilities, energies and manpower were necessary.
Then furthermore apparently, even during normal days when such things as Covid-19 does not emerge these things should be kept on waiting mode.
Could such industry as pharmaceutical be kept at a level that is always ready for such situation as Covid, while well minimized and shrunk as necessary for frugality the infrastructure and economy is kept?
Initially human started introducing agriculture which gave human surplus amount of food supply. The surplus further gave human opportunities for extending its activities to things other than purely food obtaining ones. That then further enhanced the human survival and at the same time generated quite a nuisance of anti-environmental byproducts.
Minimum condition of Population to Minimum Items to be in function
Returning to the theme today, let’s see how a well balanced civilization can be.
Enhanced survival needs knowledge. To practice the knowledge whenever it is required needs well stand-by facilities.
Well stand-by facilities need well grown economy which causes large amount of energy.
The energy generates entropy which causes anti-environmental emissions.
How can we minimize the anti-environmental emissions to a level that can be absolutely evaluated as no harm at the same time that the level of civilization is kept at higher level?
Structure of the system should be kept. Then the quantity should be reduced. putting it another the quality is kept while the quantity is reduced.
How?
How about our population?
Population matters most?
The word “population” suddenly has come to my mind. To make population under control in order for it to be the best suits to balancing between creation and conservation, number of births control system will be an option.
Number of births control?
Yes number of births control!
But how!?
Oh don’t impose such a tough question!
Anyway, Ok how about this.
For instance, what if a government issues the right-of-giving-birth ticket to some people who were chosen in a way that can keep whole population almost constant. Calculation, of course, would be necessary taking into consideration on matters; quantity, knowledge, sophistication, innovation, civilization, diversity and minimum required volume of economy.
But, number of births control? Only chosen people?
Probably some people would oppose, insisting that everyone has the right to have their own children.
So, the government would introduce a measure against that opposition.
In the measure, all the babies born through that government birth program are raised and educated by a public organization so that no child belongs to any particular family. Immediately after being born, each and every baby is isolated from its parents with no traces left.
uuuuu, Is this correct in terms of humanity?
However rational its logic can be, it looks to me somewhat wrong.
Greta Thunberg, her yacht
Her yacht sailed to New York. The yacht was equipped with telecommunication and power generation device that had not been available in an era of sailing ships. I mean her yacht somehow is representing balance between creation and conservation in a way that minimizes the increase of entropy. Thanks to that telecommunication and power system on board she was able to safely navigate through once a dangerous ocean field at the same time then with minimum emission with such energy source as sun right, ocean tide and natural wind.
Anyway its very strengthened hull is made of, maybe, fiber reinforced plastic which might lead another and diverse technology, thereby may consume so much of energy, economy and therefore a considerable quantity of something.
Here then quantity matters again?
The idea of the yacht could highly be evaluated as message since I myself has also been inspired of an idea of balanced civilization anyway. Then at the same time, it implies the difficulty as well, I suppose.
What are necessary for making semiconductor? What are required for making medicines? What are essential for making food?
For semiconductors; silicon, and other metals, energy, chemicals, clean room, factory, people who design it, procure, fabricate etc. Medicine as well and then food.
Thinking of such a diversity of ingredients and facilities, I can’t help posing a question: After all, “Quantity matters most”, isn’t it?
Minimum required quantity is determined at the quality which human think necessary. If the quantity is put as the most prioritized factor then it represents quality.
Can the nature be in a best balance with civilization while human never give up “Fake Luxury”. Fake Luxury?!
No! True luxury is I think surrounded by beautiful nature peacefully.
Future, optimistic or pessimistic?
They say world population may turn in a decline in a future. If so, naturally quantity of civilization will be suppressed in a way that can keep things at a sustainable level while quality of civilization is best ever highly sophisticated.
But maybe that will be too late, comparing the speed of entropy which human is presently experiencing, with a decline rate of world population. Also to bear in mind is the way of seeking economic growth. I can’t describe it practically, but I think it should be of more spiritual.
Oh, I am scarily. I am not such specialist that can speak of such a difficult thing. Everyone in the world seeks happiness although the way of realizing happiness sometimes quite a bias, yet I want to trust in human.
