Success Happy

Big brains and nimble hands made the human race successful, but will we survive our success?

Farming resolved the big problem of foraging, the limited supply, but easier living meant bigger populations, cultivating corn meant extra corn borers, upsetting nature's balance. Industry meant more luxuries, easier life, but more pollution. More luxury meant higher expectations hence more greed, hence heightened competitions and more war! The easier it was to survive the greater the population, and increase in numbers increased competition without diminishing greed, which increased demand, the supplying of which puts increasing stress on the environment. Every success leads to more people living better, and every improvement creates increase in problems.

1. we are our worst enemies and we will be our own down fall as the human race
2. Nothing to add to that except to say that now war is on a much bigger scale and causes drastic population reduction. also, climate changes brought about by pollution have brought about more drastic and catastrophic weather conditions which also reduces population. the melting of the ice caps will ultimately drown our coastal cities and civilization will need to regroup.
3. scientist call it evolution and Christians call it the Apocalypse. we'll just only discover when it to late what we had to do to get on the right track.
4. Maybe if freedom reigns.
