As societies solve problems - food production, security, public works - they became increasingly complex. Complexity however carries with it overhead costs, e.g. administration, maintaining an army, tax collection, infrastructure maintenance, etc.. As society confronts new problems, additional complexity is required to solve them. Eventually a point is reached where the overhead costs that are generated result in diminishing returns in terms of effectiveness. The society wastefully expends its resources trying to maintain its bloated condition until it finally collapses into smaller, simpler, more efficient units.

REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
TO THE SURGEON GENERAL
OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE
U-23 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE Public Health Service
it’s not about “you’re doing life wrong,” it’s about providing a vision of what you want to be with really fun tools to get you there.
your everyday health is almost 100% dependent on your relationship with your neighborhood, your home, and the people around you.
If you are a pre-diabetic:✦ your kitchen is stocked with food that someone who is
pre-diabetic eats✦ your friends talk about food the way that someone who is
pre-diabetic talks about food✦ you drink the amount of alcohol that someone who is pre-
diabetic drinks✦ your exercise the amount of exercise a pre-diabetic gets
if these are true, then as health professionals we should put all of our resources into redesigning environments to optimize health
