If half the people alive now dropped dead tomorrow, there would still be more people alive than when I was born (1960). It would only take about a decade or two off the final reckoning & resource collapse.
What if I told you that in 1960 the world was more polluted, has less trees, and more people were starving?
The overpopulation "time bomb" is just a common misconception. There is no resource that will "collapse". Anybody having a basic understanding of how our capitalist world works knows that there will be absolutely no problem. Simply, technology improves and new ways of living are found. The amount of food that humanity can produce today is incredibly higher than it used to be, and factly, there's nobody on the planet that dies for material lack of food: starvation and famine derive from political causes (e.g. wars, dictatorships).
Nothing will run out. We will simply use other resources.
Remember this: the stone age did not end because we ran out of stones. The coal age did not end because we ran out of coal. Similarly, the oil age will not end because we run out of oil.
Yep, don't you bother cause us science-y folks will fix everything for you! With the help of Capitalism and Freedom of course. But you personally don't have to take any responsibility for anything whatever.

Shhh! You are not supposed to make sense on this thread. It is for the ignorant doomsayers only. Any realistic view of history, demographics, geography, or economics is strictly prohibited!
+1 to each of you.
