I don’t think you’ve thought this through. Ok 20 billion? Really?? That’s good? Be fruitful and multiply. And why is the human race so great? Other animals have suffered greatly from the proliferation of our particular primate.
Are you a human race traitor? Many species of animals and plants have been improved by human agriculture and science, what have other species done for us except provide nutrition, entertainment and companionship. 20 billion people is unlikely under any reasonable scenario but the earth could sustain that and still have other species flourishing.
“Many species of animals and plants have been improved by human agriculture and science”…”what have other species done for us”. You may have the most impoverished, blinkered ethics of anyone I’ve ever read on this site. Sophomoric, too: “Are you a human race traitor?” Humans have been virtually nothing but a brutally indifferent if not actively sadistic disaster to every other sentient (often very very highly-sentient) species on the planet. In scale and intensity of suffering, it’s hard to think of a single worse thing we have done and so blithely continue to do. For every domesticated dog (the companion animal most humans are most sympathetic to) humans have actually cared for and treated well, there are many more who’ve been mass-produced merely to be used and abused. It was very recently an extremely shallow and pointless trend for clueless humans to walk around with rolls of coyote fur collar which never even touched their bodies or insulated a single body part, on grossly overpriced coats, in very temperate cities…often while out walking dogs. Coyotes who were caught in agonizing pain and utter panic in metal leg traps to either bleed out, or die after chewing off limbs in a desperate effort to return to their young, or wait in agony until some trapper finally appeared to shoot or bludgeon them to death. Solely for a very tacky ridiculous decorative trim. And then there are pigs…Unless you have some sort of directly received religious input which you believe gives you the right to simply wave away the sentience of every other intelligent, socially and emotionally complex animal who has evolved to be and experience life similarly to us in so many ways, your only rationalization is “might makes right”. But, sure, why not see how many potential human lives can be forced onto the planet until it buckles under the obvious strain and there is no arable land - or nature, or wildlife left. An endless number of people will make resources forever abundant and cheap…because someone named Marian Tupy says so. Sounds plausible.

I thought chicks were all about creating and sustaining life. Guess I musta missed a memo.
How do you know my chick status? Haha. I don’t know yours either. But generally a dated old fashioned low blow comment.
Double question marks (and exclamation points) = chick. Always.
Is that so?? How interesting!
How did I no know that before?? LOL
