Thank you, Ricky for this incisive, well-researched assessment of our global predicament. Population biologists and paleontologists know this syndrome well: overshoot and collapse, leading to a mass dieoff. It happens whenever a population has no remaining predators to keep it in check, and proliferates until it exceeds its carrying capacity. Then it collapses. That’s where we are now. The only adaptive thing we can do is to grow gardens, grow community, and grow awareness. Most of us will die horribly and prematurely, but let’s hope that those who manage to survive the collapse find a way to live symbiotically within their biological support systems rather than parasitically as we all do today. To that end, I highly recommend that young people study, practice, and propagate Permaculture!
