Exponential Population Growth

Oh Goody! We hit 300,000,000 in population and celebratory and congratulatory talking heads blatt for business expansion and a growing economy.

Let us look at the facts.

The world is a finite space.
All resources are finite.
Land to support sustainability is finite
The human population is growing.
When the growing population meets the finite, changes occur.
These changes are:
The population must use less of resources to survive.
The population decreases.
The population finds other resources only available through the space effort.
War decreases the population and thus the demand for resources.
Poverty increases.
Disease increases.
Regionalism appears.
Or we can continue rampant breeding
End up dividing the world’s resources by each individual
Or creating teeming poverty and mega rich
A portent for war
Why not fight when there’s nothing left to lose?
Empire building falls short of survival
When energy becomes scarce
Technology must bloom once again
Or we are all doomed.
Stabilize populations according to present percentages
In order to manage the problem
Of dwindling resource share.
