It doesn't necessarily have to be communism or socialism that is the answer (I don't know what the answer is), but we are on the way off a cliff atm.
No.
The abusive ideologies that came about because of it were the mistake.

Rainforests are getting chopped down, the ocean is filling with plastic, species are going extinct left and right, the oceans are rising and southern Europe may turn into a desert. Shit needs to change yo.

No as long we can continue to satisfy our energy and other vital needs. The real danger is using up our resources and having no adequate replacement

his figure shows changes in sea level during the Holocene, the time following the end of the most recent glacial period, based on data from Fleming et al. 1998, Fleming 2000, & Milne et al. 2005. These papers collected data from various reports and adjusted them for subsequent vertical geologic motions, primarily those associated with post-glacial continental and hydroisostatic rebound. The first refers to deformations caused by the weight of continental ice sheets pressing down on the land, the latter refers to uplift in coastal areas resulting from the increased weight of water associated with rising sea levels. It should be noted that because of the latter effect and associated uplift, many islands, especially in the Pacific, exhibited higher local sea levels in the mid Holocene than they do today.

Yeah, we should have shifted into population reduction mode in the 80s, when it became clear that automation would one day eliminate most jobs.

If you're gonna copy and paste shit from Wikipedia, you should at least have the decency to post the link.
