Yesterday, I trying to find out how many people have lived in the US since its inception. I could not find that, but I did find that worldwide, the estimated total population that has ever lived is 108 billion. The article divided it into three categories: pre-agrarian, agrarian and industrial. Pre-ag was estimated to be about 10 million people overall but the agrarian period - which ended about 1000 years ago as we transitioned into the industrial period - was estimated to have 500 million.
Agrarian population with all the benefits of the industrial age.
(Even weirder: old Star Trek TNG episode was on last night - plot is they are trying to stop the Cardassians from developing a DNA weapon that basically kills everyone within a few days, but leaves all infrastructure behind, ready for the taking. 🙄🙄🙄)
