re: Prepare for starvation

Malthusian shortages has been disproved for 100 years






Thomas Malthus was an 18th-century British philosopher and economist noted for the Malthusian growth model, an exponential formula used to project population growth.

The theory states that food production will not be able to keep up with growth in the human population, resulting in disease, famine, war, and calamity.

A noted statistician and proponent of political economy, Malthus founded the Statistical Society of London.
Malthus' theories were later used to justify British colonial policies that aggravated the Irish Potato Famine.

The theory is now considered to be largely discredited, as industrialized farming techniques have allowed food production to scale much faster than Malthus anticipated.
