Someone laments the fact that we're all doomed and wants to upend the social order, then someone else replies with a casual implication that population control would be an effective remedy. What a surprise.

I hope you aren't talking about me. Population growth is the problem, but there is no solution, at least not one that civilized people would or should accept.

Maybe you should read my first post again. I don't wave my hands at population as though control is an easily applied remedy -- I state it as an insoluble problem.

OK that's good to hear. But read about the history of eugenics if you'd like to know how other people might misinterpret your argument.
