I’ve been thinking about overpopulation recently. How long would you imagine it to take for overpopulation to become a precedent of global concern? Right now, it’s almost as if it’s not a problem, considering the lack of attention it’s getting compared to threats of nuclear warfare, global climate change, etc., but it’s becoming a topic of importance as of late. Perhaps it deserves more attention? To me, I don’t think that now is quite the right time to be so concerned with it. Maybe after a couple decades. Unfortunately, this wouldn’t be as easy a problem if birth rates, pregnancies, and the like didn’t have such an exponential outset. Without the former, though where would we be? Would we have evolved to the point of expansion? Would the civilized Europeans of the 1600′s have discovered North America/South America, and the like by now? Who knows?
