Gale Pooley, I read much of your book superabundance and I agree with the idea that resources get cheaper and more abundant (as opposed to scarcer) with more people. So from a resource perspective, I agree with you. But the bigger question I am wondering is would a lot of overcrowding be worth it just because everything was cheaper. A lot of people still want personal space and if the population never quit growing it seems areas would get quite congested.

I know you believe that resources are infinitely abundant, but do you believe that living space is infinitely abundant? I don't believe that living space on earth is infinitely abundant. I do however lean toward thinking that the universe is infinitely abundant when it comes to living space.
