    And yet 2 centuries ago some people were already thinking, exactly like you, that there was too many humans for the earth to sustain them. You can see how wrong he was. The fact that you refuse to learn from past mistakes is quite telling though.

      2 centuries ago there weren’t anywhere near 8 billion people. Earth ain’t got any bigger since then. At what point would you consider the world overpopulated? 10 billion? 15? 20?

      I don’t see that he was wrong at all, he was just calling it out earlier than anyone was ready to listen.
