More and more I am coming to suspection that, through various avoidable factors, mankind had fallen into a late-stage industrial era #Malthusian trap of it's own making.
Propelled by industrialization, we began to consume the future unsustainable and to great excess. Fueled by credit creation, we neglected the top soil (monocropping practices), we neglected the ground water (pollution), we neglected the oceans (overfishing, pollution), and we neglected our own obligation to productivity and responsibility.
According to Malthus *and* Mises, the situation will resolve it's self either by (a) the lowering of living standards, (b) famine, pestilince, and war, (c) fertility/population controls, and finally, (d) technogical innovation that bolster the supply side of the problem.
Just like with hunter gatherers, the invention of tools in the industrial era have skewed towards the enhancement of consumption rather than securing production gains large enough to sustainably support behemoth populations and their high expectations to living standards.
I am starting to believe that we irreversibly entered the Malthusian trap some 50-60 years ago, and now are facing the reality of an accelerating Malthusian Catastrophe.
Sovereigns in the West seem to have been engaging in increasingly overt fertility/population controls, with the elimination of savings, the trans craze, and even Covid's anti fertility shots and euthanasia of both a small % of the young and old.
Billionaire philanthropists seem to be exploiting nation's desire to navigate through the Malthusian Catastrophe without revolution or collapse by launching futuristic food ventures: bug farms and lab grown meats.
The liberal world order is predictably splitting into a multi polar world order, as the consensus of societal breakdown has likely been established across nations and the Malthus gauranteed conflicts for base resources and food commence.
The good news, is that the pressure of Malthusian Catastrophes (when they don't result in lost civilizations) push mankind to remidiate the underlying factors that resulted in the Malthusian Trap to begin with.
#Bitcoin, regenerative agriculture, ancestrial living/eating, the restoration of the family unit, the dissolving of the welfare state, and the defunding of thr war machine.
We will come out of this Malthusian Catastrophe with a smaller population (in due time), but far more humble and with responsibility decentralized again into individuals, families, and townships.
