Maybe I'm just like every other generation that came before me but I really think that theres going to be some kind of...

Survival of the fittest. A modern economy is just an artificial darwinian environment where certain people get to decide to be the fittest based on pretty much nothing and they retain that status indefinitely just because they thought to claim it first. Ergo survival of the people who didn't do anything better than anyone else and still get to survive for no reason. It's no different from evolution, the environmental constraints that induce it are just contrived and stupid, and produce completely meaningless genetic results.

Maybe the world has already cycled through several mass extinction events but the remains of any previous civilization have been erased?

Exactly

I'll be sure to stop by your camp in the night and leave a pic of an anine and write brap on it

Because such drastic changes would be hugely unpopular with the general popualtion, this would make it very difficult to implement in any kind of democratic society. People would simply not vote for anyone who suggested such ideas, or remove them if they attempted it. In order for things to change for "the good of society" as a whole rather than "whatever keeps the politician in favor", a non-democratic, absolute authority would be needed, that could simply do whatever was needed whether people liked it or not. A benevolent dictatorship, and a strict set of rules. Having children could no longer be a right, but a privilege granted only to those permitted. Food and fuel / energy for personel use rationed. The world has the mentality of "use whatever we want" with no regards to the consequences. This must change, and it is a chnage that will need to be forced upon people.

maybe the reason overpopulation isn't a problem is because there's more people to feed but rather because the abundant amount of food we already have is distributed badly and unfairly

I will be on mars or a bunker depending on how it goes

True everyone thinks with the mindset of oh its gonna be there tomorrow or if I'm gonna die I dont care what happens in the future. Really self absorbed an what not
