This paper synthesizes John B. Calhoun's 'Universe 25' behavioral sink experiment with the Second Law of Thermodynamics (Entropy), evolutionary biology, and Yuval Noah Harari's modern informational network theory ("Nexus"). It argues that contemporary techno-capitalism is engineering a digital equivalent of 'Universe 25' through AI acceleration, driving planetary entropy to critical thresholds and advocating for a Neo-Malthusian framework rooted in Benatar's anti-natalism as a demographic mitigation strategy.
