What? What?!?! Is he insane?

I get: We need to be aware that we have to adjust for shrinking populations, when they shrink (example Social Security cashflow).

What he doesn't understand: We are already vastly overpopulated as a planet. We all know this. The author doesn't seem to understand this. The estimate is that we are consuming 1.5 Earths worth of resources. You can't escape people on this planet except at the polls. This guy is irresponsible. Even if we reduce consumption... there are simply far too many people.

"No example in recorded human history..." Right! But we have tons and tons of examples of societies that overpopulated and then crashed.

And then he blames Japanese issues on population contraction. Really? Jesus. This dude is nuts.

And then he mentions our environmental stewardship is more intelligent and sustainable. The reverse is true. Things have only gotten far far worse.

Where does this guy come from. And now... he got a national stage to voice his insanity. Ugh. Tragic.
