As a student of history, it always ends the same way.

Rivers of blood and cities burning. Bodies piled high and buried in mass graves. The only way to avert that crisis is for something like war or famine or disease to kill so many off that the whole paradigm kind of resets.

But we've outdone ourselves. We're not only keeping the weak alive (far past any good it will do), we are subsidizing the breeding of those who wouldn't make it in the survival arena on their own.

We are feeding places that have FAR outbred their carrying capacity.

In all our efforts to "do good", we are spitting in the face of cruel nature and creating problems which will come back to haunt us tenfold.

In all our wisdom, we are unwise,
