You probably don't want to be around to see it. I know I don't. There's plenty more poverty on its way unfortunately. It sounds negative, but that's what's going to happen.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-

You are something of an optimist, aren't you?

Evolution of humans will kick into high gear as the situation deteriorates.
There may even be some eventual attempts and successes in directing it in various ways. For instance, as humans crowd out all other larger lifeforms on the planet, it may be seen as desirable to select for a human derived form that is non-sentient, pretty good at surviving on various waste and otherwise inedible materials, and that tastes good to the rest of us.

I think pigs fit most of those criteria already, Vor. Well, they're sentient, but hey, it might be easier to breed that out?

As the mass of humanity increases, the mass of all the other critters will have to diminish. And presumably, once the last pig/cow/sheep/goat is eaten, humans will still have a taste for meat, hence, the development of a human derived replacement, that being all there will be left to work with.
