Shorter Gregg Easterbrook:- I didn't understand the part in Guns, germs, and Steel where Jared Diamond explains how China's gentle topography and extensive navigable river systems made it easy to administer as a very large centralized state at a comparatively early date in history.
- We can safely dismiss Diamond's concerns about our present society's use of limited resources, because if things do get tight, we can just use moon-fuel to move into our brand-new moon-cities.
