    That first issue. We have ~7 Billion people on the planet today. The non-productive are out breeding those who produce food and energy at a prodigious rate. Pure math says this will have a particular outcome. Along the lines of a lifeboat rated for fifty with an occupation of five hundred.

    Agreed, human life is sacred. Unless your are a despotic government. Then a few or a hundred million human deaths aren’t a problem. Because we fuck like rats and make ever more hungry mouths.

    Gonna’ get interesting in the next 20~40 years. We’ll have 20 billion, or less than 2.

    I’m betting on the high end, with the majority on the edge of starvation, no education what so ever, just clinging to life. And fucking like rabbits because that’s the only real entertainment.
