The whole point of the photo , is to show exactly just how maximized the human diaspora really is .


If so the photo is misleading.

Well , we have settled already every conceivable
place you can imagine, there's nothing
left , the rivers have been
tapped to their full
capcity...


The entire population of the earth could fit in Texas with the population density of a suburban area. The limitation is not space. It is food and energy. The amount of both that can be produced is increaseing faster then the growth of the world's population.

Do you really that our economy today is
supporting even the present numbers ?


Our economy is supporting our present numbers better then the economy of thrity years ago supported the lower numbers then and much better then the way people have been supported throughout most of histories. Barring unforseen disasters (like a major conventional world war, a nuclear war, an astroid hitting earth) it is very likely that the economy in 50 years will support the average person on earth better then the average person is supported now.
