- xyzzy123 2y agoFor me it's not about population growth so much as societal risk; our current population is only sustainable due to a complex web of interdependent systems. How often do complex societies break down or decline in such a way that the complex systems which keep our urban populations alive are compromised?
- lazide 2y agoThe more people we have, also the more people we have available to keep these systems running and figure out new replacements. Assuming the caloric ‘profit margin’ stays positive anyway.
