    The USA could accommodate about 230 billion people if the entire country was the same population density as Manhattan Island (the main part of New York City). If you dedicated 50% of the country entirely to wildlife reserves you could still accommodate > 100 billion. pic.twitter.com/MHWJqVcdMU

        2/ This is deeply confused. We have NEVER gotten more calories per acre of farmed land than today, and the rate is still rising, a bit, slowly, but we have strong knowledge of achievable limits, and we're near them.https://twitter.com/RokoMijicUK/status/1278458790149586944 …

        (2) Food production today is very, very inefficient in land, because land is cheap but labor and power are expensive. In the future that could change pic.twitter.com/7fbTSaOR4h

        3/ Your vision of Trantor is fascinating, but food is the limiting factor. (unless you're planning on using fusion plants to light thousands of layers of stacked farms? which ...why would you do that when we can just go to space instead & get free sun?)https://twitter.com/RokoMijicUK/status/1278460953810567168 …

        (3) you can give people a lot more space and have a lot more people by exploiting the 3rd dimension; buildings can be several hundred meters tall, connected by bridges, there can be multi-level parks and recreational spaces lit by fake sunlight, etc.

        From related numbers I’ve run, you’re looking at food production of ½ acre per person for minimal sustainable calories. That gives population density of 5 billion max for the USA. (Yes you can push the numbers around (efficiency) but gets balanced by limits (rank wilderness).)

        Also: the water comes from where? *Current* population and usage is causing groundwater aquifer depletion. Using ~1000x more is *probably* not going to work out well.

        “230 billion people” “Where does the food come from?” “230 billion people”
