If you disagree go live in a mud hut away from technology and see how much your life 'improves'
Humanity has seen a stable population of about a billion for millions of years... and now suddenly we have an expanding population of 7 billion and a situation where we may need the space program to flee the junk yard we've created with technological progress.
