The self-sufficient tribe is romantic, and it worked once upon a time. I believe we're now 1-2 orders of magnitude away (in headcount) from the possibility of returning to the "sustainable tribe" stage.

So if population keeps growing, and the planet remains finite, the result will be scarcity of resources. Scarcity of resources produces wars.

We'd be in pretty good shape if heat death was the obvious catastrophic horizon.
