The problem will be an efficient distribution system.

I guess that is where we disagree. I think the vast majority will become extraneous first and later a liability...

Soylent Green is likely the bleakest of the films I mentioned...

Edit I see you have been around SI for a long time.. much longer than me at any rate...

You're looking to it as if it imutable. That's what the nation-state wants you to belive. The beauty of it, is that is mutable (I like to say flippable).

The worse mistake one would do is to think that the only way out is the nation-state with its machine to intrude into the market and start picking who gest what or how much.

Slowly capital is flying from plAces that have too much capital and too less economic activity to places where there is too much ecpnomic activity and too little capital.

Why keep a factory in Switzerland, Germany or France? Let spread capital more evenly!

Look to 900km2 and 120 million Nigerians.

Look to 120+ million Indonesians pilled up in Java Island.

How can they do it?

Look to low populated Australia.

Think Canada with 140 million people.

There's only one soluton:

Capital spreading more evenly. It work wonders!

The problem is indeed too many people, unless you place importance only on the human flavour of DNA. The increase in human population, and the accompanying expansion into every habitat, is pushing other life forms to extinction. I care more about the death of 1000 elephants in Africa than I do about 1000 people in China.
