I for one never floated the idea of sterilizing poor people. If I remember correctly, they tried and failed applying such a policy in India. China's one-child policy was much more effective, but I'm not even suggesting that's a good idea. I mentioned that education for girls has been the most effective way to bring population under control, and access to contraception is just as important.

You are discussing population as if it's not a local problem. Ask people in central Africa, India, and China whether it's a problem.

So let me think. Whose opinions on such issues should I trust, a population expert's or the random internet guy's?

Realism is not pessimism if there exist reasonable and timely solutions for impending problems.
