The intensifying frequency of climate disasters, geopolitical conflicts, and pandemics exposes critical vulnerabilities in globalized, input-intensive food systems. Traditional protein sources—terrestrial livestock, crops, and marine fisheries—are highly susceptible to collapse under such catastrophic scenarios due to their dependencies on complex supply chains, external inputs, and stable climatic conditions. This article posits that lake-based aquaculture represents a strategically undervalued yet indispensable component of a resilient food security framework. We argue that the inherent characteristics of lacustrine systems—including superior feed conversion ratios, the utilization of natural trophic pathways, and a static "live storage" production model—confer a unique capacity to function autonomously during prolonged infrastructural and logistical breakdowns. The analysis delineates criteria for selecting resilient fish species, advocates for extensive polyculture management models, and outlines strategies for mitigating risks related to disease, genetic resource security, and ecological degradation. Furthermore, a strategic roadmap is proposed for integrating this approach into national policy, emphasizing legislative action, targeted research, economic incentives, and specialized education. The conclusion asserts that proactive investment in developing lake aquaculture as a decentralized protein reserve is a critical imperative for enhancing national food sovereignty and long-term survivability in an era of escalating systemic risks.

Recent advances in behavioral economics and quantum cognition and decision elucidated a number of deviations of actual human decisions and choices from mathematical principles of normative decision theory, which are referred to as "anomalies". One of the prominent anomalies is that the violations of Savage’s sure-thing principle, which is the fundamental axiom of the rational theory of decision under uncertainty. It states that if prospect x is preferred to y knowing that Event A occurred, and if x is preferred to y knowing that A did not occur, then x should be preferred to y even when it is not known whether A occurred. I explicitly derive an equality for testing the violations of Savage’s principle in behavioral experiments on decision under uncertainty. Future applications for behavioral and neuroeconomics and quantum cognition and decision theory are discussed.

Recent advances in behavioral economics elucidated a number of deviations of actual human decisions and choices from mathematical principles of normative decision theory in neoclassical economics. This study demonstrates, by utilizing the mathematical model of probability discounting theory in behavioral psychology, that normative principles of decision making under risk (von Neumann and Morgenstern’s expected utility theory) and over time (dynamic consistency, i.e., exponential discounting) are incompatible. Possible future applications of this finding in behavioral economics and quantum epistemics are discussed.
