 The party then discusses how long this process can be repeated: Always take only half of the remaining food again. This works for a surprisingly long time: and it usually ends not because it seems difficult to halve the small amount further, but because the game gets boring at some point.\\ The party then discusses how long this process can be repeated: Always take only half of the remaining food again.

   - In the economics of resource management, it is generally assumed that significantly higher reserves can ultimately be tapped, but usually only at a higher cost. While this is certainly true for materials such as rare earths or lithium, it is different for the pollution tolerance of the earth's atmosphere, for example - there are no hidden resources that have not yet been tapped. Therefore, civilization must (at some point - and that is still in this century!) switch to a completely sustainable energy supply. In terms of energy as a resource, this is possible - because the amount of new energy radiated to the earth each year via solar radiation, which is also emitted again as heat radiation in the normal steady state, is more than enough to cover all the needs of a highly developed civilization. Of course, only part of this can be "diverted" by tapping into the natural energy flow. With increasing knowledge of the interrelationships and technical progress, this usable part may even be increased to a certain extent ((The total annual energy flow available in this way is limited, however. The energy demand on earth would then initially have to remain below this limit of annual consumption; however, if it is to be used to create value on a growing scale, this can still be achieved by further improving energy efficiency. The school of further strong growth expectations sees future expansion in the exploitation of extra-planetary resources (e.g. asteroids). Whether this can become a reality in the distant future is still 'in the stars' in the truest sense of the word. Within this century, however, a significant contribution from such extraterrestrial resource utilization can be ruled out due to the enormous costs involved: The experts in these areas see the development of extraterrestrial resources as being primarily for use  in space (outside the Earth), because resources from the Moon, for example, are generally far cheaper at the Moon than from the Earth)) .   - In the economics of resource management, it is generally assumed that significantly higher reserves can ultimately be tapped, but usually only at a higher cost.
