If there were only ten people on this planet but two of them owned 80% of the world's wealth, then you'd still have what appeared to be over-population.

Our planet can take many more humans than we currently have, what it can't take is that same amount of people living under the current financial and social systems.



As for the natural order, who gives a [censored] about nature? it is a blind, merciless construct that serves only itself, it is willing to cruely sacrifice billions of entities and leave them lying by the side of the road of evolution, being responsible for such marvels as cancer and aids among a myriad of other torturous afflictions, i say as long as we ourselves are comfortable to hell with nature, it's only pretty on the outside and deserves no respect from it's victims, i.e us, besides, we are part of nature too, if we destroy it, it's just nature destroying itself.

Inane question.

Humans have been largely detrimental to the ecosystem as we are not satisfied when reaching an equilibrium, contrary to the rest of the animal life.

I believe we'll be extinct in a few centuries.
