two times recently i anchored in the bahia de san lucas every other day huge cruise ships unload people to play jetskies para glide tow fish for soon tobe extinct fish catch and release maybe from huge pleasure yachts go snorkle and scuba go shopping and eating in a frenzy of activity unbelievable in intensity and scale of consumption and i wonder as the disney ship pulls in e passengers ever get a chance to hear about carbon in the atmosphere globalwarming or sealevel rise and the effect of such activity and the science of how this is connected and how consumption its culture is now a problem on the planet and that the algebra that has evolved from that first assumption that it is humankindcultural porogative to consume regardless of the results that as zorn pointed out the mathematics that evolves starts with a first assumption the mathematics of our existence perhaps hangs on the first assumption of the cultural mathematics of consumption re zorns lemma is our dilema
