GM, not GM — whatever, I don’t care.

Here’s the underlying premise I want to challenge: if we can produce more food, we can feed the world.

Wrong. There will then be more people, again exceeding supply. We will grow and grow until humans are piled on top of each other, like a shopping cart filled with Barbie dolls. Every inch of arable land will be in use, and we’ll build skyscraper algae farms to produce more and more Soylent (jesus christ it’s going to actually be called Soylent) and then all of our fields will turn to dust and the food infrastructure will fail because we’ve exhausted the underlying vitality that makes our existence possible and everyone will die and the world will be ruled by sentient dogs.

I’m not having a good day.
