I completely agree on the intellectual laziness on exhibit with population reduction arguments. I think there's far more room for exciting creativity in thinking of ways to move humanity away from capitalist consumerism toward resource consumption habits that are fueled by a long-term outlook on how to avoid waste for the sake of making a buck (or a few billions of bucks), and how to put our creative efforts to use for maximizing utility of resource usage—all while continuing to improve the quality of life that everyone enjoys.
