Pestilence, Famine, War and Death; the Apocalyptic Horsemen of prophecy gallop over the planet; a purely predictable downside result of population ecology!
….Or we can just pretend that technology will save us, that food and water will simply fall from the cloud, or that our soulless selfish elites have not been working for decades to dispose of billions of deplorables?
Lessons from the Wild
Look at animal populations that outgrow available food supplies and lose the predator/prey balance.
The onset of famine and disease will usually first wipe out prey animals,..then the predators who rely on them.

Sometimes man, as he eliminates natural habitats, also wipes out predators like wolves or prey animals like deer, then either wolves or deer overpopulate and succumb to starvation and disease.
Humanimals
Just look at tiny high-birthrate Israel involved in a deadly struggle for real estate today as they have over thousands of years. Serial genocides are detailed in The Old Testament.
Once warrior states taste the spoils of conquest with treasure, lands, women and slaves; they become super-predators like the Assyrians, Hebrews, Mongols, Romans and Vikings of old. Look at the millions dead and displaced by the U.S. and its proxies in this century.
Weapons and tactics have evolved over the ages, refiguring the planet many times over.
“Success” eventually becomes a limiting factor as dominant states overpopulate, decay internally and collapse under the weight of their prowess.
Some nations become corrupt, fat and decadent and fall prey to hungry interlopers.
Civilizations rise and fall, unable to support their numbers…Change is usually incrementally imperceptible until “It Hits The Fan.”.
Technologies Prolong the Inevitable
We have so far tricked our way around the Malthusian equation. As with most technological short-cutting of nature, there are tragic side effects.
World populations fueled by “The Green Revolution” soared to the point we have depleted our soils, contaminated our oceans and “fouled our own nest.”
This was enabled by artificial chemical farming leading to a dependence on grain monocultures and confined grain-fed food animals…mechanization and fossil fuels.
Chemical food production economically wiped-out most traditional diversified farms creating a dependency on cheap unhealthy foods and drugs that have ruined the health of the public, maintained unsustainable populations around the globe and shortened lifespans.
More folks “at the dinner table” creates a sense of scarcity and unpleasant competition for money and housing; the result of overcrowded conditions.
Humans are now migrating by the millions to escape stressful crime ridden, war torn, resource depleted mis-managed failed states. People only undertake long treacherous journeys when their survival is at stake.
CAFO
When pigs and chickens are confined in warehouses and cattle in open-air feedlots, they are fed grains, given drugs and grow rapidly without the benefit of sunshine, antioxidant rich plant forage and exercise. Longevity is not a goal since they are processed within a few short months or years. Overcrowding stress and a limited diet lead to susceptible populations, produce poor quality meats low in Omega 3 fats and loaded with unhealthy linoleic acids,…as if we ourselves were living off grains and vegetable oils …which leads to low-energy metabolic insufficiency ,..and chronic disease! Got eggs?
Zoom out and see that America is just a “human feedlot.” Government monopolies own the ranch, their cowboys work the herd, milk the cows and keep us scared in the dark.
Chronic disease follows processed grain-based diets like the tail follows the dog.
NIxon/Butz
Back when Nixon ruled the world, he worried that the high food prices of traditionally integrated agriculture would make him unpopular,…so we went all in on cheap easily mass produced and processed corn/wheat/soy,..high in carbs, unhealthy fats and high fructose corn sweeteners,…and “The Science” supported and encouraged it! They discouraged dairy, saturated animal fats, red meats, eggs and even sunshine falsely pointing to heart disease and cancers.
A cash-stressed urban public, generations away from farms and healthy diets, started to “eat fast and cheap” only to reap a myriad of chronic diseases that shorten their lives.
Along with Big Food, drug companies and the healthcare monopoly struck gold! Media repeated their false mantras. Zombie disinformation just won’t go away.
The Pharaohs of ancient Egypt dined on waterfowl, beef and antelope while the builders of their pyramids were fed bread and beer. Archaeologists have shown the Egyptian working class suffered our same modern diseases and shortened lifespans. Years when Nile floods failed, famine spread across the lands and the Pharaohs were in trouble. Nixon must have known.
Our Upper classes and the well educated were not fooled by a country running on empty foods,..turning to wholesome wild, paleo and organic dining,…all the champagne, caviar and lobster served at exclusive banquets and pricey restaurants,…while the rest of us ate cake and drank cheap beer.
Miami (once) Nice
I might have never realized the amount of stress and anxiety produced by crowded urban life If I hadn’t (painfully) watched Miami turn from a tropical paradise of roomy suburbs dotted with citrus and avocado groves, with dairies and egg farms, with uncrowded beaches, abundant fish and pristine coral reefs…into a land developers polluted dream to house migrants from north and south.
I saw the rains stop over the Everglades and never cross an urban heat-dome to reach the coast where temperatures began to soar with the spread of black asphalt and concrete.
I was disturbed by the influx of millions and the loss of social ambience, peaceful public events and recreational opportunities.
With the Mariel Boatlift of the early 80s, the true sentiment of old-locals came-out in the form of bumper stickers; “WELCOME TO FLORIDA,>>>NOW LEAVE!”
It wasn’t until I moved to rural North Florida that I found life could be so pleasant. My blood pressure dropped. I could see stars at night and moved about with few red lights and little traffic. People here were polite, patient and friendly!
When times are good, small town life with a strong sense of community can be great,…but when a hurricane hits super crowded places like Miami, power goes out for weeks; price-gouging and looting become common, and ugly fist-fights break-out over a sheet of plywood or a bag of ice
City people are different animals. Predator and prey are largely indistinguishable. They live in the world of money, entertainment, politics and,…money. Their lives are isolated and as virtual as the screen dramas, social media and political distractions that help them cope with a sense of emptiness. “Phone People” know little beyond a “popular” social narrative that portrays a state of normality,… where overcrowding is a hugely-ignored root-cause issue,…where climate change, coming pandemics and nuclear war are pounded into our skulls,… constantly, just to maintain a background level of anxiety and control.
A fake life divorced from nature, neuroticaly riddled with separateness and urban anxiety, is no life at all. Mars is a non-starter.
Kissinger / Fauci / Gates!
Then there are eugenicists working to reduce overpopulation. They bring us manmade plagues, deadly drugs, wars of extermination and other unhealthy conditions to rid the world of excess people; Kissinger’s “useless eaters.”
Voluntarily reducing human reproduction hasn’t worked. Young couples fearing harsh conditions are reluctant to raise families resulting in negative growth rates in some countries. Low sperm counts, infertility and possibly gayness due to hormone disrupting pollutants has become another limiting factor.
Mass immigration here and across Europe is palpably unpopular adding to urban dis-ease with violent crime and high-anxiety.

Depression runs rampant, so SSRIs and opiates which boost suicide rates are a convenient way-out for the emotionally defeated and a final solution for the elite agenda.
And so The Four Horsemen eventually drive civilizations into the dust, until they reemerge from their ashes and do it all over again. Who couldn’t see this coming???
As with modern medicine, we continue to chase symptoms like mental illness, suicide, homelessness, racism, addiction, gender weirding and crime while ignoring the source of our discomfort.
Today billions are economically strapped; utterly dependent on energy, municipal water supplies and industrial foods shipped hundreds or thousands of miles,…obviously a system “too big to fail,” but should it fail, the fall will be epic and misery will reign over earth! We had a tiny taste of our vulnerability when a planned-demic and stupid covid19 lockdown crippled the system.
Unfortunately I have no compassionate solutions to human overpopulation. I can not change the hard laws of population ecology.
Like schoolyard idiots screaming “Fight Fight Fight,” warmongers never seem to stop promoting more military spending and national superiority,… yet peaceful global cooperation might be a step in the right direction.
