''population growth outstripped the availability of caves. what a surprise.''
correct - no surprise
human innovation caused an upset in the natural way of things
a disruption. And as time has gone on - we have disrupted more and more of the natural way of doing things and the world and planet.
presently - human innovation is massively disrupting - and ultra rapid.
What once took thousands of years to disrupt - now can take months - or even weeks.
I suggest that in the next decade - we'll see technological and societal disruption that can happen in days.
whatever we have - the dynamic of it will be - what IMO will be nothing short of chaos
entire major corporations will just cease to exist almost instantly and new ones will grow almost instantly
that's already been happening to a degree - but, the scale and speed will increase.
Ask Kodak wtf happened?
They invented the digital camera - then, they didn't want to push it so as not to harm their film sales ----------- then others just ran over their face
their invention to death spiral - about 40 years really
