The finite nature of the planet itself begs to differ.
Scarcity will always be an issue, and the allocation of these scarce resources, (whatever they may be), will continue to be an issue...


Whether or not market economies will continue to be the best mechanism for this allocation is unknown.
The finite nature of the planet? Ever heard of seeds and seasons? Da hell are you talking about? This planet is all about sustainability and reproduction

Well the idea is that you nikkaz hopefully starve to death, leaving a manageable couple million or so, to be sex slaves/butlers/maids/etc to the elite, and then the robots will just do all the manual labor such as farming, construction, etc. You think the rich will need you to survive once they own all the land and all the gold? :mjlol:

It's gonna be that world of elysium which becomes true, the rich leaves the earth barren and dusty after all the world wars and moves on a giant space station where there is tranquility and no sickness... meanwhile back on earth humanity is doomed because we're left with the leftovers from their bullshyt. I remember how that world sucked. who wants to live there?

Depends.

If the Eastern world can overtake the West, I don't think it does.

They are already adding non-meat material to food to save money, since the real stuff is becoming to expensive ....

Cellulose in fast food ... http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-...roviders-beat-inflation-add-wood-pulp-burgers

07/03/2014

On Monday, Quartz published an article by Devin Cohen titled, There is a Secret Ingredient in Your Burgers: Wood Pulp. Given the headline and people’s already present suspicion regarding all of the shady and potentially dangerous ingredients hidden in food items, the article gained a lot of traction. In subsequent days,most journalists and bloggers have focused on the dangers of this additive (unclear) and whether or not it is pervasive throughout the food chain as opposed to just fast food (it appears to be).

The one angle that has not been explored as much is the overall trend. Let’s go ahead and assume that wood pulp is a safe thing to consume, it certainly seems to have no nutritional value whatsoever. So why are companies inserting it into food items? To mask inflation and earn more profits most likely.This was a major theme I focused on last year in a series of pieces on stealth inflation and food fraud, a couple of which can be read below:

Non tuna, sushi additions in tuna and sushi, etc ..... http://www.forbes.com/sites/nadiaar...islabeled-fish-a-prolific-nationwide-problem/

2/21/2013

So says Shakespeare’s Juliet. But it’s the significance of what we call our seafood, not our flora and fauna, that’s currently being called into question following the publication on Thursday of the latest large-scale investigation into fish fraud.

A third of the seafood sold across the United States is incorrectly labeled according the nonprofit marine conservation group, Oceana. Researchers conducted genetic testing of various types of fish procured in restaurants, sushi joints, and fish markets in 21 states between 2010 and 2012.

Across the two-year period, 1,200 samples of fish from 674 retail outlets were collected by volunteers armed with testing kits, and put through genetic sequencing to identify their species. Samples labeled as salmon, snapper, cod, tuna, sole, halibut and grouper were the most commonly collected.

Although nearly 50 percent of the grocery stores visited in Boston sold mislabeled fish, the cod-loving city was tied with Seattle where salmon is king, as having the lowest deception rates.
Lucky consumers in those seaports can expect only one in five fish samples to be wrongly labeled.

At the other end of the spectrum, 52 percent of samples were falsely labeled in Southern California, the region that garnered the highest mislabeling rate in the country.

Of course, no one likes to be swindled. If we buy and pay for a certain variety of fish than we have every right to expect that that fillet or prepared meal lives up to the retailer’s promise. But just how worried should we be about the level of duplicity revealed by this recent study? Did the mislabeled samples pose a danger to consumers’ health?

In a number of cases, potentially yes.
