I don't think it's a quantity problem, it's an existential problem. Why are we doing what we're doing? When the best answer anyone can come up with is 'so that my kids get to have a good life', it's not enough. It's average people living in a system that's designed to make them replaceable and eventually get rid of needing them completely. Not get rid of them so that they can enjoy the human achievement of no longer needing to work, no, get rid of them so that somebody rich can then hire you as a wage slave to do whatever pleases them that day. I wonder if this is just inevitable - it would explain the existence of the pyramids - why else would anyone build them, but because there were so many idle hands and a few bored ego-maniacs? Unless of course, aliens :)
