RE: hardforking the planet
Also, imagine a school with 10 people. They probably have 1 teacher. Now, let's say 50 new kids move into town. Now, the school will hire more teachers, resulting in better education through focus, diversity of experience and more resources. Then, let's say 200 more kids move into town. Now they have to build a building and hire more teachers and managers of those teachers. Soon, those kids graduate, pay taxes and possible donate (if a private school). Perhaps the school has support services for health, mental wellness, family counseling, job placement, meals, etc. and the families get to know each other and help them the same. The ecosystem grows and supports each other. Before long, there are alumni from most walks of life and able to help each other, if encouraged. This model is an example, but should work in many community settings. If there are not enough resources, it can only be because the people with access to the resources want to control and use them elsewhere. Can you think of another reason?
I like your thinking and you are probably right in general terms, but there are issues in countries where the infrastructure can't handle more people on the roads/ more schools.
There has to be room to plant those potatoes. Earthly resources might run out quicker, there is plenty, but already fish stock in the oceans are running low requiring quota on the amount of fish that can taken out of he sea. There are no unlimited supplies.
I am not entirely convinced yet, that although humans are good in adapting and bringing equity to the market as hard workers and inventors.
I think right now if we keep growing exponentially (this might not happen as it might balance out naturally) there could well be a chance of much carbon foot prints/ more wars/ shortage of resources.
In the end what problem is bigger, 5 people running out of water versus 10 people running out of water.
As always the answer is probably somewhere in the middle, my main issue right now and I think it should really be everyone's concern, is the the monetary system.
It is crooked/ corrupt and needs to be stopped! All the debts future generations start with is to us accepting this monetary system.
