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?

    If it didn’t make you happy you wouldn’t do it.

    That’s not really how people work though. There’s a ton of other motivations than happiness.

    Shit man, I don’t even know what would make me happy.
