Historically population growth was a robust community goal, while genetic (replicable molecule code) reproduction was a robust individual goal. Hence incentives to marry & multiply were naturally selected.
There are now new opportunities for memetic (replicable idea code) expression, while the challenges of supporting even existing (let alone added) population are growing e.g. with soil depletion, global warming, etc. Therefore community-level health (e.g. measured by task-layer multiplicity) may be better served by redirecting evolved behaviors from their molecule-code focus toward an idea-code focus instead. N'est-ce pas?
