So Earth has limited resources, and as humans we spend a lot of resources trying to make our lives not suck. But our population is exploding exponentially, so the resources being spent on just humans is growing exponentially.

On top of that, it's the lower classes that are exploding, people who are currently providing no value, like Africa.

So as time progresses, are we going to end up wasting all of our resources on ourselves and never reach our potential as a species because we ran out of resources to venture into space and develop FTL travel?
