TED: How will we survive when the population hits 10 billion? | Charles C. Mann

The video explores the concept of humans as an outbreak species, comparing our exponential growth to biological outbreaks that often end poorly. It contrasts two perspectives: 'wizards' who believe technology can solve our problems, and 'prophets' who advocate for ecological balance. The video questions whether humans can escape biological constraints and emphasizes the need for collaboration between these two groups to address future challenges like resource scarcity and climate change.
