The ambiguous anomaly

While thinking about India’s vision for 2050 and its relation with global situation, two factors attain the lime-light :

1- Demographic Dividend

2- Resource management

While analyzing there relation we usually limit our analysis to tangible resources , ignoring excess or lack of intangible resources.

Concerned Intangible resources :

1- Gross intelligence

2- Mental peace and satisfaction.

Few correlations concurring resources and there distribution :

1- Intelligence density =     avg IQ * population / area in sq. k.m

Possible impacts :

1-IQ is proportional to resource utilization :: leading to high natural resource consumption.

2-Mental development leads to desire for dominance , hence society will be more responsive and assertive.

3-To feed the society we need smarter systems , which if absent , may cause a high probability of social unrest , or tendency to snatch resources from other societies.

Demographic dividend and its side effects:

Socio-economic profits, which an economy garners due to shift of population’s age to youth range (20-45 ) , with a smaller portion of population as a dependent one and larger portion as productive one , are considered as demographic dividend.

Increased pressure on natural resources

Though it seems quite a profitable phenomenon , it have multiple short term and long term negative effects like-

Increased possibility of social unrest due to more energy and less experience

Unsustainable development and growth may lead to sudden slowdown as demographic dividend phase will be passed.

Nut shell analysis and solution-

“ key message which this article wants to deliver is that a society with increased intelligence, enhanced productivity , enlarged needs can not sustain if it does’t learn the constraints , does’t follow a simple and sober life style , does’t adapt a living method with less resource consumption.

If intelligence is all about increasing speed of machines , and selling the products with compulsive marketing , then the consequential shortage of resources will be our DOWNFALL , our own power of intelligence will be our assassin. “

Solution lies In simplicity.
