I kinda went on a little research spree on economics this afternoon but at one point I figured it’s probably good to know if it’s possible for, say, at least 98% of people on earth to live a happy fulfilled life at all.

I know there’s plenty of people who’d be more than happy to have literally nothing more than a house, food and water, but that still leaves a whole lot of people who want other things in life.

Do we have any metrics or data on wether the earth can sustain roughly 8 billion humans?

    All of human history exists because we solved scarcity.

    The past 12,000 years has been trying to convince the hoarding assholes to stop making life shitty for everyone else.

    You shouldn’t just be mad, you should feel the injustice of it all in your ancestral bones.
