Evolution, Ethics And Overpopulation

.
MY EXPLANATION OF WHY OVERPOPULATION IS THOUGHT TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE FALL OF THE MAYA AND OTHER CIVILIZATIONS

There are three ages when about the same level of population density was found in history to be followed by a decline of those civilizations. The Maya, Ancient Rome in 1 AD and after, and the decline of England after about 1776, the major urban areas had about 1 million in Rome and London and the Maya, followed by a decline. What caused this high density seems to be  inconsideration of what had evolved by ourer hunting of predators. It's obvious that there is truth here in the proverb, there is no bad which does not bring good, and research shows with overcrowding most  higher animals become ill. This in evolution would then have reduced the population, and they would have then been more healthy and this would then have added to the population with cycles that conditioned us to well established limits of just how much any one animal or human may achieve by more or reduced overpopulation. It's found in research that social pathology is more common in the city, and of course with not enough people in the country it would be more common. In evolution before the invention of fire we all lived in the tropics and had the optimum number of neighbors near and dear because we wouldn't have been living in the city or out in the country in houses and no one for miles, with the conditions most optimal for life in the outer realms of the cities, and this explains why. Another way of looking at this is the same general theory of Supply and Demand in economics, if there is more overpopulation, there would be either more competition (Demand) than than the evolved amount of competition needed for the same resources (Supply) than they would have gotten cheap in supply in all ages past leading to strain. Or the same motif rearranged; reduced resources of supply for evolution's usual amount of demand that would have won in all other times for the same labor, which would also be a strain, either way most city dwellers would lose. All there is is based on balance of action and reaction, good and bad, hot and cold, most of the life in the world is near the surface, where the forces are level. If one of these is out of balance, evolution will know. This would explain why the plague of the 14th century was followed by the brilliance of the Renaissance. Since the time from the start of the plague to the rebirth of the 14 hundreds was just one 14th the time from the start of the decline of the ancient world to the 14 hundreds, it's improbable to have been just coincidence. Even the conditions in the dark ages weren't enough to lower the overpopulation enough to revive civilization. So all around us, the high civilization before and hopefully after us may owe perhaps 90 percent of it's power just to the plague. If the dark ages were too overcrowded, and the plague hadn't reduced the overpopulation that improved the more general health of Europe, it might have stayed in the dark ages for 1000 more years.

  A rather startling conclusion; we may owe our wealth and power, and the golden age of painting, literature and music, the invention of science, to mice! (This was how the plague was in ships and reached the west.)And if the overcrowding is with us today this is why half the world is in communism now. All we are is based on our relationship to land, so I think communism isn't gone, just sleeping. The overpopulation is higher than all ages past, and this would be why they have it worse in Russia now than before Vlastnost. This is why the ideas of How to Solve Overcrowding on this site may be of import to our future. Even if this method of more room is a real Win on our MSN account it wouldn't be sustainable without some real sort of reduction of overpopulation. It would buy time via the room but the problem of the pressure of Supply and Demand would return, if the same number of people per unit of room, the pressure is the same. If the number of people increases a lot we would soon use up all the room found on the moon or Mars. Space stations aren't considered an option since it would cost a million dollars per person, and they have problems with being flimsy like explosions, leaks and radiation. So I consider methods of creating more room for us to be just a temporary way out for a while. Good deeds were common in the wild for millions of years or evolution wouldn't have gone uphill. If this is proven by supply and demand, any advanced civilization would survive by voluntary limits on their numbers. All the resources would be used up otherwise. Imagine if in 50 years we all have just a foot of room. With our numbers going up, there will be a definite time when the agriculture will be outpaced by our numbers, with the land by more people always reduced for agriculture. We may reduce our number of people per unit of room by finding more of the room above, buying time enough to limit our numbers and never letting them go higher than like levels of 1800 or 1900 from that time on out. This would be salvation for those who have made a bit of error about how our ecology is, our own world, but who with a bit of effort and the power of science, could achieve the most golden exultation as good as any in the history of all neighbors-mine all are! If we have just goals and can't help us how can we help others? Even if there's no way to bring our Eden back, the way to Aurora, OH should always be North. A way to prove that overcrowding is the cause the present social pathology not found in evolution would be to take healthy volunteers who lived in the suburbs all their life and move them to the city with the same amount of money for a few years, and measure how healthy they are about fatigue, stress hormones, blood pressure, and so on. They say blood pressure goes up when a person talks. I think it may go up higher when listening to others talk, this may be of worth research for sweetheart to sweetheart talks. If you have to live in the city relief from the noise may soon be available for you without having to leave the city. They now have chips that cancel out most of the sound by an inverse wave worn as an audio. With the chip speed doubling fast, these headsets may give you sweet smooth rest. These AN machines like heads up will be in widespread use in education in just a year or two.


 It's already well proven that social problems are several times more common in the cities, many would say this is not a proof of cause. They may say many of the people are poor there so this may be the problem, and drugs are used in such realms, and so on. If healthy people were moved from the country to the city with the same amount of cash, no drugs, and so forth, this would be a prediction the theory of overpopulation would prove. Of all the science and creativity on the internet, I consider this  explanation of Competition and Reseouces by far the most important- all else may be worthless without life lived well and room of our own. I hope you remember I think this may be of more value about the rest of our lives than any other at this time in our history. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing for riches.

 Encyclopedia Americana says that most countries have more the problem of urbanization (moving to the cities) than overcrowding. So we have another solution to buy more time and slow the overcrowding if we move to the country. This is my belief, if you want to help save the world, and sleep sound, move to the suburbs of the world village, you won't have to shout, and you'll hear the rain on the roof and see the stars. While the plan may save us for a while I think the only real solution my be by voluntary reduction of our numbers-just like a usual advanced civilization would!

.Without the plague, history would have been much like watching The History Channel All Month. Constantinople, the Rome of the east had much of the documents held over from the ancient world. If the Merovingian era had continued a thousand more years it's probable sooner or later Constantinople would have fallen (it fell in 1453). Without even this 1/100th of the ancient world's authorship saved on a giant computer, the ancient sculptures and vase paintings would have stayed safe in bogs and dirt, (a Venus much saved is a Venus much urned!) while with a 1000 year delay for a reawakening, authors like Shakespeare would have had to reinvent the word processor wheel. Copernicus or Newton would not have had the guidance of the ancients like Aristarchus as foundation of the heliocentric way that the earth goes around the moon "somewhat". No serious scientist after Aristotle believed the world was not round, so a latter day Columbus would have had reduced hopes of wages from the royals to find the US. Whether the western world would have been found would have been more luck; a continued age of slow life when all were in their 50's would have both reduced explorations, but increased invasions, like nations who are "having a bad day" sometimes do, because of the plague and mice. While there are obviously other influences in history (please see this link )Any important balance from millions of years of evolution by this would seem of highest worth.
