This is a normal post Malthus. Wrong since 1798
Which was when he wrote an Essay on the Principles of Population. When the world had about 800 million people on it.
To many people is one of those 'common sense, innit' things which is utter horsehit. See also Brexit, flat earth and Cold Play.

This is a normal post Given finite resources eventually Malthus has to be right.
Sure, you can pack more and more people into smaller and smaller areas, there will become a point where stress, disease, conflict make living in the human battery farm awful for most.
This is the same for most mammals and birds.

If I'm wrong somehow, maybe we can alleviate suffering in poor countries by letting those people come here; after all, if population isn't a problem we could easily double our population.

This is a normal post Malthus wrote about population growth and food supply, not environmental degradation

This is a normal post bucky balls
"It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living."

This is a normal post Protestant work ethic covers a fair bit of it.

This is a normal post just think of all the spare time that could be created for other forms of self flagellation though
