This article reads like the rantings of someone who was well educated long ago, but has since watched daytime news every day.<p>The world is more peaceful than ever. You are less likely to die to violence now than at any other point in history. Medicine is better than any other point in history. As populations grow larger, they also grow older and people have fewer kids.<p>We aren&#x27;t going to overpopulate the earth. We aren&#x27;t going to run out of materials. We aren&#x27;t going to destroy the environment. We aren&#x27;t going to blow up the earth.<p>That is lazy thinking. Life has grown and expanded for billions of years. Humanity will continue growing and expanding into the future. We couldn&#x27;t stop it if we tried.
