nice cope faggot, but we all know what we have to do and it isnt investing in gay cope tech like solar panels and wind farms

Is the great acceleration the consequence of the industrial revolution? W-was he right all the time?

Not gonna lie, at first, I dissed out Ted for bashing the left. Some time ago I started to look at historical population data because of my job. To my surprise, what I found was the huge demographic expansion. It took humans nearly 100.000 years to reach 1 million population then another 100.000 to reach 1 billion and after the industrial revolution we have reached 7 billion in merely 200 years. I kept investigating on the subject and all charts (GDP, emissions, energy use, acidification of the oceans, etc.) literally every chart explodes past the early 1800s. Now I'm worried about the future of the mankind.

It's just that the industrial revolution demolished a lot of "natural" boundaries humanity had. It's all a consequence of post-scarcity:

1. This economic system/model isn't sustainable in the (very) long term, we just can't continue to do this forever

2. Overpopulation lead to plenty of social issues

3. Our genes never caught up the pace at which we develop science-technology and never will

Every single political, social and economic issue of today can be traced back to the Industrial Revolution. Prove me wrong.
