The apocalypse is going to basically just be a massive world war over food.
By 2050, the world population is predicted to be 9 billion. We’re going to have to produce as much food in the next 40 years as we have in the past 8 thousand. That’s a lot of food. The only reason we’ve even been able to produce as much food as we have is because of genetic engineering....and even that can only be taken so far. HOW are we going to produce enough food to feed 9 billion people?
We’re all going to go insane. And kill each other over food. I wish this was a joke, but in all seriousness it’s completely plausible.
However, I suppose it’ll bring back a sense of “survival of the fittest”. Ever since we started inventing things to accommodate the less “superior” people, humans have been passing on less efficient genes. People who lacked cleverness or strength used to be taken care of by predators, or starve because they couldn’t fend for themselves. But we accommodate for those people in modern society. But if we literally have to fight to eat...then the less genetically fortunate human beings are going to be picked right out of society all over again.
Well, I guess it’s just another form of population control.
