It seems that you understand that the profit motives of the western world ignored the global implications and have led to the decay of the ecosystem to the point of no return. But it would seem your argument against it isn't that it happened and continues to happen, but that it shut out the third world in its profits, ecosystem be damned.

Its as if you do not recognize that the only prosperity comes from the arriving to sustainability, and instead equate it with the same values that did the destruction in the first place. That's a serious tangent from where KSR was talking.
