One of the biggest struggles I had at the height of my depression, years ago, was my inability to reign in my care. Caring is good...

It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of him was one kind of sumbitch or another. -- Malcolm Reynolds

The Emperor would laugh at that. He was the ultimate tyrant for the sole purpose of making sure mankind never wanted another.
eggmuffin
That was a short term effect. The ultimate long term goal was always the survival of the human race.
eggmuffin
He wanted to guarantee it, not just for thousands of years, but for hundreds of MILLIONS of years.

He needed to have humanity inhabit so many worlds that some would always survive, regardless what cataclysms visited in the future.

The thing I didn’t know, when I thought that, was the alternative. Living in a Malthusian crisis really was worse.
flavivsaetivs
Except Malthus' theory has repeatedly just been used to lambast technology and has never actually held up. See the anti-nuclear movement...
joe6paques
It held up for all of human history up to ~1870. See “Slouching Towards Utopia” by DeLong.
flavivsaetivs
Did it? Up through 1870 and today we continue to find new exploitable resources, and technology continues to make more of them available.

You have not even begun to feel the suffering of this crisis. The global impact that awaits us would make even Malthus' head explode

A yes,the only alternative. Lol. Just as communism is the only alternative to capitalism.
YoSamiteSam
Under communism lines are long and things are scarce and it is because of the government. Under capitalism it is because of business.

And under both things aren't really scarce, they just lie and say they are, for profit and control.

Well socialism is the best alternative but people are way too greedy.
HalstenTorqThorkelson
Looking at people in capitalism and saying it is man's nature to be greedy is like looking at mice in a bucket of water and saying... 1/2

Then why not create a federation of socialist states. Needs a governing council, and we should probably put the put the council in the name

Sheldonian
What alternative are you talking about and what malthusian crisis?
Erdanya
I disagree that it's 'the alternative', but a malthusian crisis is when population growth outpaces food production, resulting in famine, etc
iDrinkDrano
Our malthusian crisis is more one of our ability to transport people and food, but not to prevent the spread of plague
CorGoBrrrr
I mean, globally we produce enough food to feed 150% of the population. Rather than distribute it efficiently (or unprofitably) we waste it.
CamoKiIIer
Yeah exactly this. I don't know how many pounds of squash I picked/hauled/stored only to just get thrown away instead of donated. 1/?
CamoKiIIer
The dumbfucks kept putting out old stuff on display and I begged them to rotate it and donate the day or two old stuff. 2/?
Erdanya
Yes, it's an even worse situation, with economic collapse and mass starvation, but it doesn't have to be the only alternative..
SoundFuture
China's population is about to collapse. We are basically nearly to the knee point of the pop growth S-curve. Malthusianism is crap anyway.
