Humans are no where near that level.

If I remember that far back the experiments were done on rats where they were put in an enclosed environment where all their needs were met. As expected the population just kept growing. The strange thing is that they became apathetic and then quit reproducing.

Humans are not rats, humans do not live in a controlled environment, and humans don’t have all their needs met.

Humans do create environments that become overcrowded and careless with sanitation (do you hear me San Francisco and Los Angeles) and opportunistic diseases will spread.

I firmly believe this virus was modified in a Chinese lab and either by accident or design got loose.

It became a world wide problem because China allowed Chinese to return to various parts of the world carrying the virus with them knowing they were sick.

So this is not a naturally occurring problem created by human overpopulation

I think it's reasonable to assume that along some continuum we pick up population both hormonally and cognitively, and so our biochemistry does interact to some extent with our surroundings. Since in the early days of animals, too many meant not enough food & resources, there would certainly be at an unconscious level processes we don't recognize that govern our mob behavior that are tied to population.

For example, the cities turn liberal -> and sure cities have certain practical considerations that would leave them to want to govern themselves differently, but there's more to it. People change when they are a denizen of a city, and then move out, and then move in.

So I think YES unconscious things happen to individuals and to the mob, the collective.

But PART of this is just a practical matter. Many hundreds of years ago we weren't so connected, so physically viruses were probably springing up left and right and not travelling the whole world.

How many mass wipeouts of inner African people's happened that were simply never recorded, but also never escaped Africa?

Would there have been the type of wetmarket ... or for the conspiracy minded, plots ... or rationally ... bioweapon research way back when?

And is it a function of population then or civilization and technology?

The problem NOW is that ONE mistake could doom everyone. That wasn't true 2000 years ago.

My answer would be yes-ish -> it's not EXACTLY a K value, but behaves like a k-ish value-ish.

True in principle, but I don't think guaranteed to play out in black and white.

But note that we are the most advanced ever, and there is SO MUCH anxiety and snowflakism. Is advancement itself a problem for the longevity or at least happiness of the species? Longer lives but less happiness, joy, enlightenment, God? I don't know. I'm totally happy (as much as you can be).

Yay!

Yes. The one study I came across was about the squirrel population on an island.

I think it was a seven-year cycle, driven by too many squirrels eating too much of the vegetation to sustain itself.

As the population decreased that allowed the vegetation to grow back, allowing the squirrel population to increase until it was consuming beyond the plant growth rate...

I don't know about a K level, but I don know about John B. Calhoun and his work on rodent populations. He coined the term Behaviroal sink

Actually I was not thinking we have reached that level, or that we are at overpopulation in the world. I just simply remembered this because the news and the panic related made me think of that K level thing and I wanted to know what it was all about.

I do wonder about the lab virus originating and getting loose in China because it seems plausible.

LOL you lost me after 1789, but I did learn about this theory in college without going deeply into the math part.

He sounds like the typical left wing professor justifying abortion, homosexual activity, drug abuse, abortion, so called homeless and other Darwin activities.

No, he just brought that up to make us aware of things in science or theory of science. Back then we hardly heard of abortion in the way it’s spoken of today. It was like a bad word back then, a teacher wouldn’t ever refer to it. Drug abuse was still so low we all thought of anyone doing hard drugs as creeps and addicts. We didn’t even have homeless people or any reference to homeless people. It was not an issue. No one even talked about homosexuality except in reference to the city kids maybe, because they were organizing homosexual things but where we were it was considered kind of weird behavior. There were no homeless out on the island that I ever heard of back then. Everyone I knew and most of all the kids, except for dorm living basically lived in a house with their parents, not even an apartment, this was out on long island. Our teachers didn’t even go off on those tangents like I guess they do today. It was very different then.

Yeah,

Potassium level. Generally 3.5 to 5.1.

Either side you’re hyperkalemic or hypokalemic.

Both situations you can be in a potential world of shit.

I don’t know about it for humans, but I do know it applies to coyotes. And then humans do move around a lot in search of betrer provisions. I also know that if evil reaches a certain level, they tend to get wiped out some how.

In real life, what typically happens is the male of the species demonstrates his fitness by acquiring and defending territory sufficient for supporting at least one female and some offspring. Those who do not demonstrate fitness by having a defended territory don't get to breed. This keeps population at manageable levels.

“Has anyone ever heard of the K level?”

yes ... it’s that level in which Mother Gaia has finally become so fed up with those human warts that keep irritating her continents that she fights back and strikes down with great vengeance and furious anger upon those who attempt to poison and destroy her bunnies, fawns and rainbows, and they shall then know her names as GAIA as she lays her vengeance upon them. COVID-19 is the perfect example of that ...
