What about a world population so large that there are insufficient basic resources like food, water, housing, basic health care? Not much room for ideas and creativity under conditions of abject misery and squalor. There is some limit, even if no authority assigns the optimal number. Interesting, from an existential perspective, to hear here the enthusiasm for a boundless expansion of humanity.
That's a fair comment, Carol. It's funny low little talk there is about curbing or managing global population growth, especially by people concerned about global warming, the encroachment of humans on pristine wilderness, etc. Is the subject off limits and I just didn't get the memo?
What? People have talked about curbing the population for decades. From the Malthusians to Paul Ehrlich to Bill Gates and the WEF, the notion of too many people / too few resources is not new ground.
I'm sure you're right. I remember back to the Paul Ehrlich days. I guess I'm not in the right circles these days. Do they have any suggestions for how to reduce global population?

Elon decrees it. Elon will propel humanity to the stars. Elon is God.
