That's fine, but for the most part, dimensions and species are isolated. Once extradimensional creatures start interfering, it gets really quirky.

@Etcetera

It can, but I wouldn't call it an absolute.

That's why I think universes should probably be pretty independent. If they solve their own population problem, great. If not, they'll just have a smaller population.

@Etcetera

It's hard to tell people, though, "Hey, you're on your own. Nope, ignore you're neighbor. You can't help each other. Do it yourself."

So in that same line of thought, I think that anything that works also works when scaled. If management will fail on a major scale, I think it is all but a failure on a small scale, especially with the rate in which it would grow. People multiply like rabbits when they can.

@Etcetera

I can agree to all that.

I'll admit, I very much favor a hands-off approach when it comes to people, but at the same time, I don't think it's possible to manage anything that big, regardless of experience.

@Etcetera

Not alone.

It's more than just running out of space. A centralized system like that inevitably collapses.

@Etcetera

I'd argue that comes from lack of anyone having the experience to run one that big.

*Nods*
Virtually every planet cannot sustain life. Even if you were to take all matter and make it habitable, not only would you run out, but you've inevitably integrated yourself so far into the lives of all affected that they're reliant on you.

@Etcetera

I dunno. You can put people just about everywhere, in some way or another. I dunno if I can imagine Existence ever getting full like that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

There's only so much matter.

@Etcetera

Will that limit ever feasibly be reached though?

It was just corrupting the image to ensure it doesn't pop up twice because it's huge. That's what the above post was referencing.

O. I misinterpreted. My b

Really?

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

But an unsustainable one.

@Etcetera

How?

What ever do you mean? Web pages are only getting smaller on their own.
