Problem is, there was never that many of us. Hell, for most of human history there was less than 1/8 of us now.
The future is going to be somewhat cyberpunk because generations before us already made some choices that we have to live with now.

- Eisenstein 4y agoHunger is not a production problem but a distribution problem. It isn't profitable to sell things to people with no money so rather than do that we discard it, turn it into something else or whatever it takes to keep the prices up in the producing countries. Do you have a fix for capitalism and the profit motive? If not, obese 'rich' people and starving 'poor' people is what we get.
- Tade0 4y ago> We can and should eat less anyways Yeah, but 20% less, not a quarter of what we do now, because we obviously wouldn't survive on that.
- yamtaddle 4y ago> Never has been as many obese people nor food waste. We can and should eat less anyways The food waste is because food's extremely cheap. The fix is to make it expensive.
