I fear resources being consumed by too many people and not being distributed in a way that allows survivors. Of course, that is just a freak nightmare once.

Well... you could use 1 pound of beef in your lasagna... or 10 1 pound eggplants...

Or just use 1 or 2 eggplants and send the other 8 to Africa.

For every level you separate yourself from the primary energy source, you lose about 90% of the energy.

If we could derive our energy from the sun, we'd use so much less energy.  Instead, we have to eat plants that derive it from the sun.  That's only 10% as efficient.

So basically.. in a field with 1000 clover plants, it could sustain 100 rabbits, which could in turn support 10 fox, which would in turn support 1 dog/wolf/whatever eats the fox.

Yes but if 1000 is how many resources we have and 100 is how many people we have, the 100 people may split the resources in a way that is unsustainable, leaving them all DEAD.

Because that'll be the situation in a time not far away if we don't do something.

Very libertarian of you.

I've tried turning the other cheek when people have raved on about this, I've tried refuting it, and now I'm going to tell you all this.

SHUT THE F*** UP

you did it to me.

Because you were pro-gun control, which is one of the stupidest positions anyone can have regardless of ideology.
