Makes sense. More people fighting over the same finite amount of resources, leads to less per person.
Eventually, no matter how imaginary money is, it's used to buy non-imaginary resources.
- refurb 11y agoThat makes no sense. Resources are fixed but incomes have grow by what? 5 fold in the last 100 years? Lots more people now than then!
- jusssi 11y agoIn the last 100 years, the advance of science and technology has enabled us to make better use of those resources, making people wealthier. Population growth seems to be catching up with the advance now, leaving less resources per capita. Or maybe it's just slower times before the next big breakthrough. Infinite energy from fusion, and AI doing all our work would certainly allow us to truly fill up the world.
