Understanding Thanos's Resource Management Strategy

In the Marvel Comics and the Marvel Studios series, Thanos was driven by a singular vision to address overpopulation in the universe. Instead of increasing resources, he opted for a more radical approach. This decision was rooted in his belief that the universe, with its finite resources, would eventually face the end of existence if unchecked growth continued. Thanos's rationale was clear: 'This universe is FINITE, its resources FINITE; if life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist.'

The Prime Celestial Arishem's Creation and the Infinity Stones

Hypothetically, if someone were to advise Thanos to use the Infinity Gauntlet to double the universe's resources, Thanos would likely dismiss such an idea as idiotic. This concept does not reflect a deep understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe as described by the Prime Celestial Arishem, who created the Soul Space-Time Reality Mind Power Singularities. These singularities were synergized to produce the matter and energy phenomena that compose the universe, i.e., the resources that sustain life.

The so-called Infinity Stones are the concentrated leftovers from these singularities, each with the sentience and mastery over the resources it produced. These stones allowed thanos to manipulate and control vast amounts of matter and energy, but doubling existing resources would require manipulating these core principles in a way that defies both logical and practical understanding.

Thanos's actions indicate that he did not simply eliminate a portion of life; instead, he ceased their existence by decomposing the universal matter and energy phenomena that formed them. Therefore, while the total amount of resources remained the same, the form in which they were originally distributed changed, eliminating those that were consuming resources.

Consequences and Reactions to Such an Advisement

The reaction to such an advice would likely depend on how it was presented to Thanos. If it was said disrespectfully, he might be inclined to act on his belief that life needs to be controlled to ensure the survival of the universe. Such an approach would undoubtedly lead to immediate violent conflict and might result in Thanos killing the advisor, or simply ignoring the suggestion out of sheer lethargy.

Alternatively, if the advice was presented in a constructive and respectful manner, Thanos might reflect on the long-term implications of doubling the resources. He might realize that such an action, while seemingly solving the problem for the short term, would merely act as a Band-Aid solution. Population growth on Earth is known to double every 50 to 60 years, and similar patterns might be observed across other planets in the universe. Thus, while the post-Thanos civilization might rebuild and thrive for a decade or two, the same problems would resurface in less than four decades.

Addressing the Root Cause of the Problem

The real issue with Thanos's plan, therefore, was its short-sighted nature. It addressed the immediate problem but failed to provide a sustainable long-term solution. A more effective strategy would involve addressing the root causes of overpopulation and resource depletion. This could include implementing advanced birth control measures, adopting sustainable living practices, and exploring alternative energy sources to reduce reliance on finite resources.

Ultimately, Thanos's actions and decisions were driven by a complex understanding of the finite nature of resources in the universe. Advising him to use the Infinity Gauntlet to double the resources would ignore these fundamental realities and provide a fleeting and ultimately ineffective solution.
