meanwhile all those goody good feelings are overburdening our planet with a population it can barely sustain which will only become worse with the passage of time leading to massive wars for resources china for instance is already buying up large tracts of land for growth of food or for mining of coal and other ores it requires because it can't support it's own population the U.S. and it's "war on terror" where they offer aid for cheap oil from Iraq certainly makes you stop and wonder was it really about terror or was it really about the oil.
Who's next Russia well they've already started to expand again wont be long before all those who used to be behind the iron curtain will once again be back there, and India their population rivals that of China who are they going to take over ?
Totally offtopic, if the subject is too big for you, don't partake. You will derail this thread and it will go nowhere. Read, maybe you will learn a thing or two. Most of the insights being shared here are much bigger than our current day politics.
Make your story bigger and suddenly it can have its place in our evolutionary process. Let's try that?
So, yes, our resources will be exhausted at some point - this pushes us to find new ways to survive and thrive, and there is a whole galaxy out there. It may sound sci-fi, but its either that or we turn things around radically on our own planet - now, given your own sense of realism about the current state of affairs, what is more likely? If we are successful at evolving further, we will probably have to adapt to new hardships for example those in zero G. We already have astronauts trying hard at that. Perhaps they represent the next step in our development/evolution of traits and strengths.
