There's no "overpopulation situation". It's a matter of over crowding and lack of distrubution of resources.

- redvenom 6y agoAll these replies to my comment may be true, but all of them are actually forgetting the impact we are doing to wildlife and the natural world. So, while we can easily grow and become even more populous, we are just destroying our world at the same time. It's rather sickening.
- ben_w 6y agoThree only reason I have to fear dismantling Mercury to build a Dyson swarm of O’Neill cylinders to live in, complete with wildlife preserves greater in internal surface area than the Earth, is “can human politics work like that?” rather than anything else. You find it sickening? Don’t worry, you probably won’t even notice the new “stars” twinkling around you, even in the unlikely event of self replacing factories on Mercury being developed in an un-augmented human lifetime and therefore you living long enough to know about it.
