Farming resolved the big problem of foraging, the limited supply, but easier living meant bigger populations, cultivating corn meant extra corn borers, upsetting nature's balance. Industry meant more luxuries, easier life, but more pollution. More luxury meant higher expectations hence more greed, hence heightened competitions and more war! The easier it was to survive the greater the population, and increase in numbers increased competition without diminishing greed, which increased demand, the supplying of which puts increasing stress on the environment. Every success leads to more people living better, and every improvement creates increase in problems.
