As well as economic class
Machines are coldly logical. Population growth will cause them to make the only logical decision. There is no such thing as post scarcity, as long as there are growing populations there will always be a struggle for resources
Industrialized nations have a neutral population flux
^ yuh
If the whole world was industrialized and lived in comfort then population would eventually even out
At least based on the data we have from every nation that had ever industrialized

Ai will not advance that fast
global economic disaster will first speed up the decay of capitalism
fascism solves nothing at that point so
Food production has a maximum level, the earth does not have enough resources to support the population of the Earth if every nation can produce surpluses. In the short term there will be massive population growth but it is unsustainable in the long run
we have enough food production to feed 1.8 times the population
Then we can expand outwards
Then we better spread out
space colonization is plausible
long term
AI's growth is exponential, it is highly likely that we will see AI capable of handling the macro economy

um
No that wont come for a while
We still have the same base problem though of population growth and climate change. Do we just keep spreading and using up every resource until we all starve?
Population growth isn't an issue, the population is leveling out
No
Climate change is gonna cause mass genocide
AI, while incredibly useful, will cause a greater change to the global economy than the industrial revolution and it will come a million times faster and harder
We face our population issues when they arise
Like any other issue
By then its too late
We don't just lay down and give up
Impending economic collapse and climate change is going to be the cause of mass genocide
it will cause the decline of capital
Well given the fact that we consume living material, it seems like a high increase in our population could be supplemented through advanced agricultural methods. There is no cap to the amount of food we can make, at least as far as I know
^
Who controls the capital is irrelevant. It is the mode of production that will cause global problems, mainly industrial/tech based industries
Imagine a global dust bowl, that is the result of permanent mass agricultural production
The dust bowl was the result of poor methods. We don’t just have dust bowls annually
We also don't need to produce that much food relatively speaking. In a hundred years much of the coastal population will move inward and impede on agricultural production. For the land that is used, it will have to be constantly used at maximum capacity
This will inevitably cause soil degradation, and later mass starvation
Weren't you talking about communism being superstitious because communists estimate a lot
