Okay, I get what you are referring to. IMO, we have a tendency to seek the maximum benefit out of our resources. This leads to their exploitation. To make our production efficient, we strive to create an equilibrium between demand and supply. But imho, Nature intends to offer abundance. We are actually creating artificial problems by first creating demand and then trying to fulfil it efficiently.

What if, there ain't enough "skilled" workers and they choose to use whatever skills they have elsewhere? Yes, some production will fall but let it fall! What if some land is lying "unused" or some crop is in surplus? All these parameters are arbitrary and are anthropocentric. Nothing is a "waste" in Nature.

Yes, if the world were ruled by cats, it would have been a lot better, I guess.
