Well, the article’s focus is on asynchrony. Naturally then, it talks about closures within the context of asynchrony and to the extent that it is relevant.
The author could have made the topic about closures, but that’s not what they wanted to talk about.
I know what you’re saying, but at some point you could argue we “ARE eating the wrong thing”, considering our population size.
Said differently, I hypothesize that it would be more practicable to create policies that influence what we eat and how that food is produced, compared to creating policies that try to reduce population size. If anything, it appears that more advanced countries are competing to gain population so that the machinery of their societies can keep chugging along in the name of growth.
EDIT: elsewhere in the thread I see people comment on multi-use of animals vs plants, and the consequent implication of increased use of undesirable synthetics/plastics if we raise fewer animals. Systems get complex, and their behavior can change drastically in surprising ways if you start fiddling. But fiddling we must.
I’ve got a good set of speakers, and coupled with Tidal’s Master[1] quality recordings, there’s just no way I can go back to something of lower sound fidelity.

“ Banks create money out of nothing.
Where does the real wealth in the economy lie?
It’s easiest to see when people get it badly wrong
Weimar Germany and Zimbabwe had created far too much money compared to the goods and services available within the economy causing hyper-inflation.
States can just create money, and the last thing you want is too much of the damn stuff in your economy.
They had made so much money it lost nearly all its value, and they needed wheelbarrows of the stuff to buy anything.
States can create money out of nothing as well.
You need the right amount of money in the economy for the goods and services available within that economy.
The real wealth lies in the good and services available with the economy and is measured by GDP.
Central bankers actually look at the money supply, and expect it to rise in line with the new goods and services in the economy, as it grows.
More goods and services in the economy require more money in the economy.
This is the problem with gold and Bitcoin, they are not really flexible enough.”
> (1) Fed policy as well as (2) economic growth and corporate profits (or lack thereof).
The argument is that (2) is an inevitability of the market, whereas (1) is political.
The market is influenced by politics more than you might expect, and, conversely, the Fed’s actions are less political that you think.
