Back in the 60's a team of scientists conducted a study where they put rats in an environment that had all the amenities, but space. The population soon exploded and went viral, all kinds of social problems, terrible stuff. Then the numbers dropped down to a sustainable level and maintained some conformity. Then soon after it went viral again.
A cycle doomed to be repeated over and over. Could mankind be in the same cycle? I wonder. Supposedly we are smarter than rats.
