The wonderful thing about this is how much it still shapes people's minds and politics. There's often a clear division of people who still live in this malthusian mindset. When productivity boomed during the industrial revolution we shifted from a scarcity situation to an abundance. That's not to say we are post-scarcity, recycling is still important. Look up 'abundance mindset' if you want to know more. We are living in a time right now where there is technically unlimited food. We could build a highly insulated factory with growlights in the arctic or worst desert and be producing food with robotic arms mounted to vehicles all automatically. Providing cheap renewable food at tremendously low cost in places without food. In practical reality there's amortization costs and all this to get it built and running. Time, labour etc. These are being built right now and these are operating right now. We will get to a point in the future where you go grocery shopping and food is a loss leader to bring you to the store. They just give the food away. You know such a thing would be great for society, it's coming.
