I have long since noticed, every time I go into a box store, just the shere number of individual items, from cloths, to toys, to atomotive, to tvs, to video games, to shoes, to clothing, to food. In one single Walmart, that is hundreds of thousands of individual items. That is not the collective worldwide sale of any store. Point is, humans are masters at production, but we are lousy at thinking about long term concumption.
You are pointing out 'Symptoms' not cures.
For Humans to continue to thrive and flourish as those in 'Lesser' places wish to do as they've seen the more developed Countreis of the world do then we MUST continue to gather and process rescourses.
Since people acknowledge that doing so from Earth are 'bad' as in increasingly expensive AS said non replenishable elements are processed at increased rates to furnish increased Humans then we simply MUST spread the work load out into the surrounding solar system.
Stripping floating items such as Psyche 16 https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/asteroids-c.../in-depth/ and relocating minerals from other bodys back to Earth would seem to be the way to go.
Cheers.
Not at work.
I agree that the symptoms are there, but I never claimed that I had the cure.
All I know is that we are a currently a very belligerrant species whom stupidly thinks we are an apex that can solve every problem.
