What useful energy constraints are you referring to?

Yep , that's spot on ,

during the great depression , while most places were deep in misery , Kansas City economy boomed !!??
and it became one of the creative hot spot for jazz ,

It's not difficult to predict nonetheless that mega-cities will have a hard times ,
their very existence postulate a high energy level .

typical of the American attitude of rugged individualism , there is a focus on individual fate
but as Aristotle wrote Man is a political animal ,
an individual survival strategy can only be viable if a functional society exist around it .

The strongest and simplest form is the extended family clan ,
Its internal bonding is bullet proof

....like in Afghanistan
