		Abolishing the taboo is expected to result in the 'benign uproar' of heated argument globally, which could do much to ensure the behaviour changes that are necessary to mitigate Northern lifestyles and Southern fertility, relieve entrapment, and solve the `population problem'.
		Overall, we see the Hardinian taboo as stifling urgently-needed innovation and adaptation, and view the recognition of entrapment as the powerful engine of a new radicalism in a world that is in the direst need of it.
