Meanwhile, as the world’s population increases and we are crushed closer together, our social and political arrangements move towards tighter control, says JimQ on Washington’s Blog, developing the ideas of Aldous Huxley, who “foretold all the indicators of a world descending into totalitarianism due to overpopulation, propaganda, brainwashing, consumerism, and dumbing down of a distracted populace in his 1958 reassessment of his 1931 novel Brave New World.”

In the animal world, a population “correction” can be devastating:

But that is because animals lack foresight and management. In the event of global social breakdown – civil war or anarchy - such a disaster might happen to us.

The UN offers a range of projections:

Assuming instead that we have governments that aren’t cruel, mad or seriously incompetent, then we have to agree to being managed with a view to the long term. But the twentieth century shows us that we cannot take that assumption for granted.

And a heavily interconnected world is more vulnerable, in all sorts of ways. Rulers seem to think that centralisation is the answer, whereas diversification and dispersion may offer the best chance for species survival.
