There are only so many resources in the world and as those are diminished two outcomes are likely to occur. One is that those resources will become even more valued and the drive to gain control of resources would come to conflict in various proportions. And the other more hopeful and inevitable would be the use of technology to replace or introduce new resources, and then the cycle begins again as the playing field shifts.


As for the social outcomes in an individual society that is inevitable. As certain members of a society lose their social signifigence the power they exert and influence they have becomes diminished. It is no matter then that they will be living below the median and while some states/countries have more apathy for the eldery and the less priviliged some take no care and offer no state benefits and force those in need of help to look to their immediate family, who are likely to be in a similar situation and unable to really do that much good.

So what does it take to move into a situation in which a society draws in its outliers in order to make each individual feel more like the next? A Revolution, that is what most would assume. How about just a change in the way we think about things, a new philosophy, a new way of life, a new religion? If every individual was able to feel for another rather then focus on their self, and actually sacrifice their self for another in the faith that another would do the same, then possibly all needs can be met. If people lost their selfish desires men would be able to dissolve his self and focus on the whole and realize the importance of all that is around you, and you effect it through your involvement with you.
