I base it on the fact that the earth is pretty much maintainting 7billion lives right now.
Yes I think numbers have role to play, but our behavior has a bigger role. I dont think our western definition of successful life can sustain this
planet's 7billion people. So to redefine success and what it means to be human may look drab to the those of us living the dream, you know hot water
for a shower, widescreen tv's.....but it is a way to solve not only the practical problems of feeding the planet, but the social problems of our
inflated egos and death by boredom. I think there are alternate forms of energy emerging to power our homes, and if we get rid of the toxticity of our
various manufacturing process we will have steady and clean water supply.
edit: if nothing else, mother nature will do her duty and take care of the population issue.
