I've just made a fundamental discovery!

My study of the human brain has shown that...

...the less rare something is, the less care is taken of it.

For example:

The more money we have...

...and the less cents matter!

The more food we have...

...and the more we waste it!

My conclusion is definitive:

The more of us there are on Earth...

...and the less value and interest our individual lives will have in the eyes of our elites and leaders.
