"Human beings, on balance, are creators, not destroyers. Each human life, on average, contributes to improving the conditions of human life overall. We live as well as we do today because so many people lived in the past and made innumerable contributions... 1/3
..., great and small, toward building the global civilization we now enjoy. If there had been fewer of them, we today would be poorer. If we accept Malthusian dictates and act to reduce the world’s population, we will not only commit a crime against the present, 2/3
3/3 but impoverish the future by denying it the contributions the missing people could have made. The world needs more children."~@robert_zubrin, Merchants of Despair: Radical Environmentalists, Criminal Pseudo-Scientists, & the Fatal Cult of Antihumanism amazon.com/dp/B078431GFR
