Over population is a terrible problem!! It is the very basis for all our environmental problems and is even affecting human behavior and health. It heads the human race towards doom,. But what is so amazing is that no writer can make money writing about it. It is not in the newspapers or magazines, not on TV. It is a taboo subject, anethama. It offends the Catholics and the Creationists, Muslim terrorists and anti-abortionists. It seems that no one wants to offend them and stir up controversy.
In "Destiny and Civilization," I describe how this biological process develops. Different animals go through different processes when they grow too numerous in a limited area. Our problem is that like some of them, behavior has been showing signs of deteriorating. Stress and hostility build up. We have the West, Islam, Marxist China and India all competing for the remaining resources. The struggle from them can only get more brutal.
What will happen is that either there is a population crash up ahead, probably within the next forty years,or we adopt a new ideological system, one which has among its clearly stated goals, to limit population increase, promote recycling and eliminating waste.
