How have you relegated anyone who doesn't believe that supporting indiscriminate population growth with tech is always a good thing as 'cynical, inhuman and shortsighted'?
Parent noted that these technologies are a double edged sword, i.e., having strengths and weaknesses. Nobody is asking that we starve poor countries. Population regulation through resource scarcity is a natural phenomenon and should be allowed to happen. I'm not sure what's inhuman about this? Are we expected to treat people who don't yet exist in a humane way?
The fact of the matter is that the Earth is a finite place and resources are limited. Maybe there will come a time when we're space faring that it won't matter, but we seem a little far away from that goal.
