What I am saying is that human are in bigger stress, bigger discrepancy,
"Reference - input" of human in artificial environement > "Reference -
input" of animal in natural environement. And I must add to be precise
that I am pointing to higher level of control loop.
"During the minute it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of
animals are being eaten alive; others are running for their lives,
whimpering with fear; others are being slowly devoured from within by
rasping parasites; thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst
and disease. It must be so. If there is ever a time of plenty, this very
fact will automatically lead to an increase in population until the natural
state of starvation and misery is restored."
