RE: Finding a Massive Transformative Purpose
What you say is totally true, but this rapidity that we are facing today will lead to a collapse and the exhaustion of many resources to sustain life, and in time we will not have the opportunity to enjoy the knowledge we have gained. In 100 years humanity will end up collapsing because of overpopulation and will partially self-destruct.
That is absolute nonsense. The Malthusian trap has been disproven time and time again, since the days when it first reared its head at the turn of the 20th century.
The resources of the planet are not unlimited as we think, and we humans consume more than we need.I have not read any theory as you say. This is my personal vision. I see the changes around me and the consequences of overpopulation and advanced technology.
You are correct that humans consume more than we need right now, but this is just a little part of history. Consumerism is just a culture of less than 100 years old. Hopefully, we will start using the resources better soon.
But, even with a higher resource use, technology always finds a way to do more with less. This means that although the human population is rising, we will see a decrease in resource usage. I believe this will happen because the exponential growth of technology is faster than the growth in people.
