ECB decreasing interest rate by 0.25%...
Earlier this week I read that inflation is up again in the Netherlands. Today they claim inflation is going to be okay.
What they never say is who caused the inflation by printing almost infinite amounts of money.
I would argue inflation is too much demand and finite resources.
Printing of money is an attempt to hide the issue above.
The planet is the same size it was in 1965 when we had 2.7 billion
we have 8.1 billion same resources = the real problem.
A fact: many species, when confined to a small territory, like an island, begin to miniaturize.
https://bigthink.com/life/the-island-rule/I assume there's some survivor bias in this: the species that didn't make it aren't seen anymore.
so...eventually, evolution might go this way even for humans once we would have truly large population numbers as Earth is like a very LARGE island.
Computer tech has told us that you could have more powerful but small computer aka a phone.
I live in a small country with high population density, and I think the country would be much nicer with less people. But that's never going to happen. Population growth in much higher in poorer countries:
Exponential growth can't be sustained on a finite planet, so step one would be to stop increasing in numbers.
And that won't happen because poverty and poverty can't end while the population grows exponentially in a poor country, basically a poverty trap situation. I think a lot of countries are just in a situation of no return, some tar pit situation where everything you do things will get worse. And btw, this forum might be one of the safe places where to say things like that, but do post this on x or Reddit about some countries that need to deal with population growth, and let's see the reactions! If you will get away just with a nazi label it will be a win.
The sad part is: we
will eventually run out of resources on a finite planet.
Warp drive..nice to read about..just as Star Trek was interesting, but "where are everybody"?
This is actually a very big question...i know, I know, they could be here any minute or are here already.
Finding a new planet isn't going solve population problems. It took 50 years to double the planet's population. If you'd want to solve that by finding a new planet, you'll need to double the number of planets every 50 years. That's a million planets for the next 1000 years....
