> Unlike animals, Humans create their own resources, they don't just find them in the environment. No. There are hard limits to resources, but exponential growth curves have no upper bounds. For example, humans could disassemble all the planets in the Solar system and turn them into space stations, increasing the habitable area by a factor of a trillion trillion. For a population doubling time of 20 years, the new territory will be filled up in a few thousand years. If we convert all the solid matter in the galaxy into space stations, the galaxy will hit the Malthusian limit within a few million years. The only solution to an exponential growth curve is starvation or artificial selection.
