[lbo-talk] agricultural productivity

[Chris Doss]

By not having as many children as conceivably possible, James has engaged in the murder of untold billions of potential Heartfields and is guilty of Potential Heartfield genocide. Yet this monster is walking around free! The injustice cries to high heaven! The souls of a billion murdered Potential Heartfields cry out for justice!

If the people had not been born, they would not be people.  They would
not exist.  Better to exist than never to have existed makes no sense.
(Not the same as better to exist than to cease to exist.)  Am I happy
to have been born?  Happier than what?

So there is no case that more people means a higher level of well-being,
that population growth in and of itself is desirable (unless you're Robinson
Crusoe and you get bored with Friday).
