Maybe. I don't think it will happen in our lifespan though. So who cares?

Real Talk:
We probably have way too much momentum of destruction and insane birth rates to really do anything helpful at this point.
Any time you say that people should have restrictions on consumption and reproduction, people fight back defending "ARE FREEDUMS".

People, en mass, will never accept that all must make some sacrifices to ensure the continued positive growth of our species.

I think about this a lot in my daily three-hour shower around noon, just before I look for a job at Pornhub.com.

yep. That's why we need a war

alternatively- we ensure that a global war starts soon. Instead of wasting all resources on the slow decline and die of stupidity and selfishness, we go straight to war. Nuclear if necessary. Then whoever survives will have enough to keep on living, and the biosphere will slowly heal itself.

i worry less about humans falling to this extinction even than i worry about the sudden diversification of new lifeforms that will follow it. humans likely will survive, but what also will survive will be a whole new explosion of species specialized to kill and feed on us.

imagine your boss coming in one day, sweating and acting strange, before his head explodes in a burst of gore and spores from a growing parasitic fungus left undetected. filling the corridors of your business.
