comfortably gradually, or must it endure a motherfucker of a crash at some point instead? Consider the example of the rats that live in bamboo forests in parts of India. Every 48 years, the bamboo goes into flower and covers the land with seeds. Consequently, the population of rats explodes because there is so much to eat. At some point, the food runs out and the rat population crashes, and the cycle is repeated 48 years later. Is mankind like these rats? Or does it get its shit together by using a fuckin brain for once?
