Humanity—which has been around for several hundred thousand years—has only used oil on a large scale for about 80 years. That’s it. And we will only use it for a few more decades. Because we know it will run out.
This is how we developed an overpopulation that could not sustain itself. Out of 8 billion people, only 1 billion actually know what it means to produce and process food. The rest of us have outsourced this biological function. This entire global development depends on a physically limited resource.
Today, all eyes are on oil. Even though it is International Water Day.
