I would say no, we just need to change what we focus on. If you're worried about lithium-ion batteries running out, check out Aluminum ion batteries (AL is the mos t abundant metal in the Earth's crust).

Worried about farmland? Check out advances in vertical farming.

Worried about space to live? Just wait for a housing price correction.

Worried about energy? Check out the advances in Solar, Small modular reactors, and grid storage possibilities.

The better question isn't "are we running out of resources?" it's "should we be using different resources or the same resources differently?" to which the answer is yes and being explored by scientists and engineers
