An increasing population in a finite habitat evolves to less resources per person: It increases the challenge to achieve it fully for all of humanity. However, till now, mankind rather evolved in the other direction, resulting in more dehumanization, the theme throughout the oeuvre of Kubrick ...

An awakened humanity is necessary to turn the tide!
