...👉There simply is no other possibility if we are to withstand once more the #Kassandra predictions👈 like mine here, or e.g. quite some time ago, about the #Overshoot, the #PopulationBomb, the #GreenRevolution, and the importance of the so-called #PhantomCarryingCapacity:

As I summed up in this in this thread here, I guess, is the best example of 👉the imminent reality of this #PhantomCarryingCapacity is deep-well...

It all became very clear to me, when I read this insightful article about #Overshoot:
[CW: This is a quintessential article, however, I strongly recommend *not* reading it if you're suffering from a depression, etc.!]
After further reading and contemplation, I wrote this thread about the the #PhantomCarryingCapacity and the quintessential #SecondGreenRevolution:
