"Something has to kill us off. Since we’ve largely controlled the main diseases, we have to rely on man made means of controlling our numbers, be it war or pollution. There’s no problem facing the planet today that a reduction in the human population wouldn’t resolve."
Yeah agreed - but no-one wants 'us' to be the ones controlling our numbers/standard of living - war/pollution/climate change/famine etc etc. Its ok if everyone else gets it, but holy shit, not us. (Same as every other human on the planet screaming "Not us! Choose them!" but most of the poor bastards don't get a say in it.)
