Quadrillian say: Malthus has explained it all very well already. Most people realise the plain truth of Malthusian theory, but accept that so far we have been able to escape the consequences because we have been lucky enough to find ways to prop up the demand/supply situation to avert disaster. However the enormous and unprecedented human population now rests upon an extremely limited resources base and upon a fragile supply chain that can no longer be tricked into lasting much longer.
Early last century we basically exhausted the supply of fundamental physical science that the universe offers, and this was followed by almost a century of technological exploration of the possibilities of that science. We are now at the stagnation phase for most technologies and the "new technology" that technocornucopians hope will save us is simply not going to eventuate.
It is a great mistake to expect that technology is going to follow a never ending exponential growth curve. For most of human history there was little if any technology. The huge growth mostly all took place last century. That is anomaly, not a trend. Beware of those with wild and unfounded expectations of a never ending stream of new technology. These expectations are based on the highly atypical discoveries of last century.
