    Fair enough. Canabalism is arguably the most sustainable diet. Based on the the ecological footprint calculator I was looking at if I eat just 5 other people my current lifestyle would be sustainable. If I can eat 25 I can live the lifestyle of the rich!

      Now imagine if you could eat 25 rich people and gain their assets!!!

      Then of course you’d be in line to be eaten next, but since you’ve been not-rich before, you could probably fool the ravenous hordes.

        This could get mathematically complicated. If I eat 25 people, who are each living the lifestyle that is 25 times the sustainable amount and take their assets, I would have the assets to live the lifestyle of 625 sustainable people. So I would have to eat another 600 people to make it sustainable, which would in turn make it unsustainable. A terrible paradox.
