Gale Pooley's ideas on superabundance are quite intriguing and offer a positive twist on population growth and resource management. He collaborates with Marian Tupy to challenge the old fear that more people mean less. Instead, they argue that as populations grow, our smarts and technological advancements make us better at using what we have, leading to more wealth and resources per person. This positive outlook, which they call "superabundance," suggests that we get more inventive and improve our overall living conditions with more people.

For those interested in exploring this optimistic view further, Pooley's Substack account, "The Antidote to Irrational Pessimism," is a treasure trove. It dives deeper into how human ingenuity continues to break impossible boundaries and offers a refreshing counter-narrative to doom-and-gloom forecasts. Subscribing to his account keeps you updated with the latest insights and provides a regular reminder of the potential for human progress in the face of challenges.
