I've blocked users gkgreger and GrandMasterKai from further comments because I don't like the threats and intimations of death. :-(

Ah, yes, and who decides who gets aborted? The so-called intelligentsia and the self-anointed experts who are in fact a political class in control. And while they are busy aborting potential geniuses they perpetuate their rule. Nothing is more threatening to them than an idea freely expressed.
Replying to both your comments-Exactly! Who can live, call themselves human, and not have freedom. Proven over and over again. It is freedom that provides the free thought for innovation, and revolt against totalitarian absolutists who live to hoard their feudal stash in a stagnant society. China is a wonder ful example. How many more must die there to gain this natural freedom?
He won't really be disproven for another 70 years or so, will he?
Let's say we can find a way to sustain or control our growth. What would such a world look like? What kind of authority would be needed to maintain control over growth?
The need to constantly acquire, expand, and learn is humanity's great moral paradox.
hmmm seems like the solution is to stop being sluts and ignorant dumb fucks . . . then we don't leave it up to nature to eliminate waste. . . too bad it's not going to happen ...pity ... brilliant video so simple
Malthus: The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man. Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. Subsistence increases only in an arithmetical ratio. A slight acquaintance with numbers will show the immensity of the first power in comparison with the second.Malthus has been disproven-he ignored that humans are capable of tremendous capacity to innovate and employ technology to solve problems of supply and demand.
You forget that free market also ensures that products in high demand will sell for a high price. This would discourage companies that extract fossil fuels to research new technologies as this would decrease the demand for traditional substances such as coal and oil.
it is just a scare, and the professor freely admits it as such. As he states in the previous video, nature will pick possible solutions for us if we don't fix it for ourselves. Trouble is, these solutions may not be all that pretty...

Now what kind of government do you need to control the population growth of the whole world?
