I find it hard not to have dark thoughts when thinking about this topic. Feedback loops are powerful and dangerous. A positive one can carry you to ever increasing wealth, wisdom and power, but a negative one could destroy not just yourself, but your entire family and the generations to come. The poor have fallen into a highly negative one, and they are increasingly going too far in to have any escape velocity to get out. If we try to help them, we only prolong the inevitable and create an even greater population of poor that we simply can't support. If we let them die, then the blood is on our hands, but we may be left with a world that is more balanced.
