Overpopulation. Atheism.

The real world is a quick reminder, that we are only humans. An organism on this planet. No one should be responsible for saving the world, no one should believe that. The truth is nature will dictate our survival like any other species. Forces external to our species or forces internal.

@Whatistobe I haven't heard of that work of Jared Diamond's. There is definitely a disconnect when it comes to overpopulation. My point was that if we as humans don't sort it out ourselves peaceably, that there would be an non-human fail safe working on the species from the environment.

I think ultimately I am an optimist, we have come this far, we should be able to get ourselves through these amazing times intact.

Thanks for your comments.

@vdst1 Sorry, I meant Jared Diamond's _Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed_, not his earlier _Guns, Germs..._. I never read either, but the ideas from _Collapse_ about exhausting resources and undermining environmental habitability is an important one that seems to be the last consideration- for us now and those societies that perished. We face all sorts of challenges at this stage in our history, but the threats from overpopulation are usually ignored as unmentionables

@Whatistobe It is more a statement to end-of-the-worlders. I have seen the film Germs, Guns, and Steel . This was a while ago, so I am not sure if it is inspired by that film. I did appreciate the sociological / anthropological perceptions in that film.

Is this inspired by the "Guns, Germs, and Steel" arguments?
