World3 is a famous simulation done in the 70s of our world/civilization that broadly predicts how our interaction with the environment will lead to a breakdown (decrease) of population. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World3 You can run this world simulation here: http://insightmaker.com/insight/1954 http://insightmaker.com/insight/1954 (Click on the green run simulation on the upper left.) The lady who is responsible for this is called Donella Meadows, she is a famous systems thinker, I read one of her books titled 'Thinking in Systems'. It's about how to think about such systems (without actually modelling them). http://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Systems-Donella-H-Meadows/dp/1603580557 http://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Systems-Donella-H-Meadows/dp/...
