One would imagine that this would be a huge warning light to people with functioning brains.....I mean, the whole "paleo" portion of our history is probably the most dramatic example of people trying (and often failing) to find ways to subvert and circumvent the narrow little band that nature and circumstance "placed" us in.
Oh, also, I think this observation is refuted in those people's minds by a healthy and wrongfully placed idea that the world would be better off with less people (therefore it's okay if humanity doesn't flourish). We have plenty of resources...we have selfish and greedy people who won't allocate them correctly.
