2023-04-05 at 6:05 PM UTCOvershoot: Why It’s Already Too Late To Save Civilization
How do I know this? Because it has already begun.
Our global industrial civilization has been headed for collapse for at least 50 years. That’s how long ago the human population went into overshoot, a concept that is crucial to understand if you’re going to make sense of the horrors that await us in the 21st century.
What is Overshoot?
Ecological overshoot happens when the demands of a species exceed the regenerative capacity of the ecosystem. As the species multiplies, it consumes the ecosystem faster and faster, and the population skyrockets. Once there is nothing left to eat, the population collapses. -

In the case of St. Matthew Island, the deer population doubled every 2–3 years until 1960 or so, when growth began to slow down. Finally, once 99% of the food was gone, there was a mass die-off, leaving only 42 surviving reindeer.
Now take a look at the human population since the advent of agriculture, and ask yourself, “What is going to happen next?”

That's actually good, though. People won't learn anything, except through pain and suffering. They need to touch, taste, smell, feel. Humanity needs tempering, just like you temper a sword in the fire. Everything happens for a reason, all easily and finely guided by the one super-entity. -

For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take up his stake and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
