IMO unless we solve several big problems we're going to be seeing famines again within our lifetimes.
Another thing that's interesting, is the earth was far more producing before industrialization. In the Americas there were flocks of millions of birds you could cast a net into and catch dinner for the week. We hunted them to extinction. The coasts had WAAAAAY more fish. The number of animals available to hunt was also much much greater.
IMO markets are great at optimizing, but capitalism isn't the only system with markets. Socialism is basically markets with social ownership of businesses by the workers. Business with democracy. IMO that's pretty ballin.
the issues that would lead to famine or shortages in the first world will be solved once they poke their heads out, desalinization, topsoil erosion, etc. We're too big to fail. Africa, Brazil, etc tho. Ya, they're gonna be fucked at some point.
ive never in my life come across a model for employee owned and operated businesses that looks like it would work long term. profit sharing is fine, because payments in and out are yearly, but ownership and decision making should never fall to the plebs of the world. likewise if its intellectuals they'll fall to infighting. business hierarchy creates lots of losers, and disproportionately rich winners, but its also sustainable. not until we can hand that responsibility off to AI will that system work long term, imo.
