Abstract
Industrial societies require rapid use of temporary carrying capacity, which seemed limitless to a,“culture of exuberance.” Several instances of human population crash show what must follow. The social sciences, essentially ecological, provide various indications that social degradation is a probable consequence. Understanding crash as a natural process may curb dehumanization.Keywords
