Can we conceive of technology that will maintain or improve the average quality of life, as measured by the Human Development Index (HDI), of all people around the globe while simultaneously breaking the link between HDI and our ecological footprint.
I think no because HDI is correlated with ecological foot prints as shown in the link below.

Kiprotich Kiptum , thank you very much for the link. According to your source HDI is summary of average achievement in the following areas.
Ecological Footprint is a measure of how much land is needed to sustain a human being.
It seems to me that #1 and #2 need not require much in the way of resources. Couldn't we work on #3 to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and alter the way we associate living standard with material possessions to a degree that HDI would be largely decoupled from EF?
How do you assess the quality of life?They are actually intrinsic nature of human being, like love, honesty, truthful nature etc...am I right? Man need to cross the fourth dimension, fourth state of co consciousness
