Things I learned today (Part 1)

If you brought it in globally, the economic system would collapse in on itself as it’s basically a pyramid scheme that requires ever expanding numbers to keep those at the top going. A number of European countries and Japan are actively trying to boost birth rates as a result and its half the reason merkel is mad for immigrants.
In contrast several African and Asian countries need to slow their population growth as it isn’t sustainable in any way.
A solution to this would be a planned gradual mass migration from say Africa to Europe, and from within Asia to say China and Japan. Obviously this is about as likely as it sounds though.
The USA has been shielded from this, thanks to its previous mass migration policy and the high birth rate of latinos and young age of emigrants in general. They’ll get themselves into the shit too shortly though if they keep going down this no immigrants road.
In summary we’ll collapse on our side from underpopulation and they’ll collapse on their side from over population. And there’ll be war, so much war.

You mean to say that not everyone was using bronze at the same time? Surely lads in one part of the world must have seen whatsapp videos and snapchats of bronze tools and got in on the action??

Bro?

You would think so but the luddites in Asia minor had poor broadband
