so, most people don’t have any clue of scales involved with economy at large. let’s play a game:
without looking it up, give estimates for the following:
- how many kg of concrete / steel are being produced per person per year (worldwide average)
- how many kg of cereals per person per year
- how many kWh of energy per person per year
-
- what’s the average population density for rural areas / cities?
tens to hundreds of millions of tons
no fucking clue
-depends if total enegy or just electricity, if total then i have no clue, if electricity 400 kwh (mainly due to poorer countries)
-rural 20 people per km², city 300 km²
