Its sorta like a 600 lbs guy saying "whassa problem? There's PLENTY of food."
My point, and this contests your point earlier but in a way that could at least bring us into a sort of agreement, is that we don't actually -need- to reduce our population, and that in at least some respects the loss of labor hours would negatively impact the intended goal of such a reduction in the first place. Further, that there is a loooooong list of shit we actually do need to do, that actually will effect the change we seek. We're not starving, for example, because there are too many of us. We're starving because too few of us are working in that sector, and the power they have over our food supply is represented in it's profit driven and inhuman distribution. We -could- feed many more of us than there are, and we could do it in an environmentally and socially conscious way.... but it would take greater involvement by more people in order to accomplish it. We need to replace the single producer who can afford to purchase and maintain commercial equipment with many smaller producers, more directly hooked into their markets, making full use of more appropriate technologies.
On a personal note..it's folks like yourself which I wish had more children. They are likely to grow up with this sort of thing in mind (even if they, like you, disagree with me here or there) and would be right at the top on my list of potential labor and startups. The world is swimming with the children of assholes (environmentally and socially) who will grow up to be assholes. My brood could have sorely used your broods help. It's grim out here in alt ag, man, grim!
On a more esoteric note, we might all find reason to become semi-pro gardeners once the robot swarm steals all our jiyobs. Gotta fill the hours of the day.
