I kinda went on a little research spree on economics this afternoon but at one point I figured it’s probably good to know if it’s possible for, say, at least 98% of people on earth to live a happy fulfilled life at all.

I know there’s plenty of people who’d be more than happy to have literally nothing more than a house, food and water, but that still leaves a whole lot of people who want other things in life.

Do we have any metrics or data on wether the earth can sustain roughly 8 billion humans?

    Yeah people really don’t get it. Certain resources are only in certain places. Hence why most countries populations are on rivers, coasts, and other crop viable areas.

    Which is also why most of the worlds population on livings on like 3% of it’s landmass. Vast majority of the land in the world is uninhabitable.
