the human, as a species in the animal kingdom, is known to be the kind of
animal who fouls its own nest and overruns its habitat. the idea of a
tipping point, whether it be for CO2 in the atmosphere or polar ice shelves
or explosively deaggregated IPv4 routing tables, does not occur in the
minds of individual decision makers. instead it's left to us "chicken
little" types, and the only way the individual decision makers ever make
their decisions on the basis of tipping points is if some kind of
"governance" makes them do so.
