Please also go an watch Marissa Streit of Prager University interview Marian Tupy about his new book Superabundance which claims the earth needs more people, not fewer. I have noted before that the fact that some products even exist is a testament to a wide market for them and that they would be prohibitive to make were it not that so many people needed them. But Tupy goes even farther. He points out that because we are a reasoning and inventive species, we have in the past, and will continue to make, in his terminology, the pizza bigger and bigger.
I am naturally inclined toward Tupy's ideas because they are hopeful. More to the point, I believe God's first command was to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. I also believe that Malthusianism is wrong headed and has been proven wrong many times in the past. Which is why I believe that the belief in the population bomb, and climate change and all of it is a substitute for true religion, which is loving God and one's neighbor. Therefore, trust in God, and have more children.
