The classical "Maya" of the Chol-speaking citystate Sak T'zi' had a plan - at least, so say Moldbug's teachers and colleagues. LIDAR says Sak T'zi' agriculture went beyond what the burghers needed to feed themselves. Same with Yo'k'ib' the holy kingdom, hegemon of the region; called petri-nigri by its excavators.
LIDAR tells: surplus. The surplus will be preserved for future days with limited agriculture. Except - this is the Guatemala highland border we're talking about, Land Of Eternal Spring. So given a smallish population, it can feed that population indefinitely. The plan, then, is for a future population that's no longer smallish. Or to support a nonagricultural population right now, like the segment thereof building those terraces who are not currently farming.
I suppose there's Burma's historical solution (per Judith Richell), to malnourish the infants by choice and "custom". Or Japan's historical solution of infanticide. Or what we got here in the US, to encourage castration of the poors (stuck in public schools) by "transgender" ideology. We got abortion as well, which is also infanticide; but that's become unpopular. But anyway. Planning for the future by increasing supply such as first to improve nutrition presents to us the anti-Burma.
How... unAmerican! (Yes yes, "they duh reel murrkins" but, er... not Parians. Maya no Aztlan.)
That surplus could be redirected to elites, as well, as the press-release notes. Someone had to do the planning and, as we see, the planners did earn their pay. Sak T'zi' also had to defend herself from the Blackstone jihad.
