I’ve had “Special K” for breakfast.
I’ve read about the K-hole, from ketamine abusers/explorers.
But, I hadn’t heard the term “K-level”.

That was true of our barn cats when I was growing up.

So, it’s not like K-cups?

Sounds like the Malthusian Theory of Population.

"Back when I went to college, many years ago, my biology teacher brought up a thing called the K level, which he did after discussing how animals have a supposed level where they reach their peak of numbers and then some disaster, a disease, a climate thing or a malfunction of biology, something, occurs to cause their deaths and bring their numbers down..."

There was a video game I used to play years ago that I seem to recall had a K level.

K = the carrying capacity of the population; defined by ecologists as the maximum population size that a particular environment can sustain.

Never heard of it before today.
With this new knowledge, I’d say the communist RATS and Chinese-bought Monica Media have definitely gone well beyond their K levels and use by dates.

We keep increasing it with technology.
The planet could easily support 10 times as many people as we have now. But if the food were to stop the cities would die pretty fast as their K-level is externally sustained.

Thank you for that reference.
I was surprised to read Malthus wrote about this in 1798, and it really does sound like it but I could not find the ‘K level’ there, however I did find “Slope is the marginal product of capital, MPk. This is because adding one unit to k, the quantity of capital per worker increases y, output per worker, by the marginal product of capital because f(k)=F(k,1)
As the slope is MPk and because MPk is diminishing with K, the production function is concave (its slope decreases as k increases)” which sounds something like it. Yes, this could be it and why my professor was so surprised.
