I know a number of people who think we should 'go back' to a happier smaller group time, but I don't see how that would work. I do know that I found out breaking up with my wife, that I have hundreds of face book friends, but very few friends I could rely on for support.
And, as much as I think overpopulation is a factor, back in history has just as much, if not more, violence. During the Dark Ages, violence was an everyday thing. Can humans ever maintain a peaceful society?
We need a universal enemy.
It's not over population so much as changing how we live with others, We used to have a small group that you knew personally, now we have a much larger group that some of who I have never met in real life, and if I disagree with them I can de-friend them. Reality does not work like that and I think that social media in particular is setting us up for having issues around that.
