    If we as humans hadn’t invented agriculture and lived purely as hunters and gatherers, the planet coul only support 1-10 million people.

    We have spent the past 10000 years fine-tuning how to abuse and exploit this planet, without consideration. It’s not the companies skimming the cream who are to blame. It’s the whole idea of us feeling entitled to just have whatever the planet has to offer

      Unfortunately, more populous societies are more successful in dominating the others, so natural selection brought us to this point. Problem is we developed technology faster than our genetics could adapt.
