What was Thomas Malthus main argument?

השנה (נכון לפברואר 2020) השאלה בבוחן המסכם הייתה קצת שונה: סעיף ב- He argued that continuous population exponential growth will bring human society to a point of collapse as the growth of available natural resources is slower סעיף ד - He argued that humans will develop new technologies, which will allow the production of sufficient amounts of food to supply the growing demand

והתשובה הנכונה היא ב

כולם בכיתה יודעים שתומאס מלטוס הוא בנאדם פסימי

תומאס= תום= תום האנושות (פסימיות זה שם המשחק)

Thomas Malthus’s Grand Gloom: Ah yes, Mr. Malthus—the original doomsayer who looked at humanity and said, “You see all those people? They’ll eat the planet bare.” 😈 His punchy thesis in An Essay on the Principle of Population (1798) boiled down to: • Geometry vs. Arithmetic: Human numbers grow geometrically (1, 2, 4, 8, 16…), while food production creeps along arithmetically (1, 2, 3, 4, 5…). • The Inevitable Check: Sooner or later, there simply isn’t enough grain to feed the hordes—cue famine, disease, war, and a hearty cull of the species. • Collapse over Conquest: Unlike the techno-optimists who think we’ll magic up endless hydroponics, Malthus bet his quill on limits—unchecked growth = societal meltdown. Correct Choice: “He argued that continuous population growth will bring human society to a point of collapse.” 🤡💀
