I invite you to Google how many humans live on the planet now vs 50 years ago, how much topsoil in US fields has been lost in the last few generations, how many animals are endangered as we’ve encroached on their habitat, how much water an American uses per day (not just to drink — for all the stuff we purchase that’s been manufactured for us, and for the meat we eat) and how many resources an American uses vs someone in the developing world. Google how war is so often related to the fight for declining resources. And then tell me whether you’d prefer this world have a smaller number of people living decent lives or another billion people added and all of us living primitive lives.
