I think we've hit local maximum in civilisation (perhaps we're just beyond the cusp). If the last century was defined by technological innovation, this one unfortunately I think will be defined by over-population crises.
If we haven't solved the over-population issues by 2100 then I think the 22nd Century will be defined by ecological disaster.
I'm not sure if I'm being too pessimistic or not!
- Quarrelsome 17y agoPessimism IMO. Generally brought about through age (older people are generally more negative about the future) or fears of immigration. I'd bet we can sustain WAY more people then we have at the moment.
- spoiledtechie 17y agoIts not the older people are generally negative about the future. Its that the more experienced people of ANY organization are generally negative. The world pop is an organization, but you can put this idea towards any organization that exists.
