Anything a man makes of value will be coveted by men who can not make the same. That envy applies particularly to the habitat he carves from nature. When no care is taken toward the future, enviable habitats find new ownership. If you only build while I only breed, then we both know whose children will inherit your house. And it is certainly true that if you build it, they will come. Less recognized is that after they come, they will take, they will consume, and their r-selected mold bloom will leave only two vast and trunkless legs of stone as the lone and level sands stretch far away.
Aspiration without deterrence is called self-sacrifice. And there are no selves Westerners are more happy to gut than their own children. We get the thrill of virtue, they the thrill of war. Can you spare us a flattering eulogy, son?
