" "The Earth is Full. Full of us, full of our stuff. Full of our waste," he said during his TED talk. In financial terms, we live on the Earth like we are spending 50 percent more than we earn."

I completely agree with this guy. The solution is population control. We won't choose to live at a lower standard of living, people with lower standards of living are breaking their butts to catch up, so the ONLY answer is less of us. With computerization and mechanization, we can do it.

It's why I'd like to see a bio-hacker do a fertility-killing virus as in the movie, "Children of Men". No political solution would happen quickly and universally enough.
