"No, Ted. Z says we can stack people up like cordwood Asian-style."

But you don't really have to do that. See Isaac Asimov's "Caves of Steel".

Ted is right if we want to preserve things as they are. But, look at China as the model. Virtually everything that can be farmed, is farmed. Wildlife, like the pandas, only survives because they are in areas that can't be used for other things.

And that totally ignores using underground spaces. We are probably an order of magnitude, maybe two, away from reasonable carrying capacity. But there will have to be a lot of changes before we get to that point.

Plenty of room if you just pack people tighter..

When did he say that?

I did NOT say that. But putting people 800 square feet to a person is more than reasonable.
