> Do you have any references for these statements? https://gerrymarten.com/human-ecology/chapter03.html https://gerrymarten.com/human-ecology/chapter03.html The green revolution was a big increase in the carrying capacity of the Earth. > Does your sentiment that we apparently couldn’t feed ourselves take into account population growth? What if the population had simply not grown as it did? Of course it does. Listen to yourself here. You're saying that it'd have been better for billions of people to simply not have lived at all and for growth to be capped for all time. Would you go back in time, prevent the green revolution, and erase all those billions of people from history? Christ, I think you would. Limiting growth means billions, if not trillions, of people will simply never exist at all. All those moments of hope and joy and rest and relief: never existed, all on your say-so. We have a word for that: genocide. We don't need to limit humanity's growth. We need to go to the stars.
