I wonder what a world of 2bn and falling will look like in 250 years time?
- bhouston 5y agoIn the 1960s we looked ahead and worried about the population bomb, what would happened with unfettered population growth: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/book-incited-worldwide-fear-overpopulation-180967499/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/book-incited-world... Those worst case scenarios didn't end up happening because of changes that occurred. Now we are looking ahead and seeing the opposite. That will motivate change as well -- but we need to have change.
