Communists are setting up humans to go extinct. Ask bill gates and his merry little helpers.

I disagree with every idiotic statement in that article. Only pathetic losers believe in overpopulation.

It’s a good thing we have experts waiting to tell us what we have to do.

If this is Scientific American, they would know that over 99% of all species that ever existed are now extinct. Not exactly scientific news.

Overpopulation, underpopulation, ice ages, global warming, acid rain, ozone holes, plague and contagion.... But the human race seems to just soldier on.

About Henry Gee, from Wikipedia:

[Henry Gee's book] The Accidental Species, a book on human evolution, was published by the University of Chicago Press in October 2013. According to Stephen Cave (author of Immortality: The Quest to Live Forever and How It Drives Civilisation), Gee writes, "persuasively," that "our obsession with our uniqueness is folly.... We... believe we are so exceptional... that we are the pinnacle of evolution. But this is a misunderstanding: we are just one twig in the thicket, and we could easily have never sprouted at all."

I can drive for like an hour and a half where I live and not even run into any humans. Weird.

I’ve always assumed that people who think that have never left a big city in their lives.

It’s Propaganda American and they are just part of the organized media assault on prosperity and freedom. They seem to think that a totalitarian left wing gov’t will give them all the research grants they want. Instead, of course, there will only be poverty.

Overpopulation is a leftist buzz word .....rather than state resource hunting by countries wanting resources they can’t provide their people.

I remember when SA was a magazine that was actually serious about science and not woke BS.

Only pathetic losers believe in overpopulation.

I have the feeling that deep down, the author of this piece believes that the world is overpopulated by Henry Gees.

This article is saying there’s no overpopulation.

Good grief!!! What will our pampered pets do without humans to open their cans? Fauci and Gates will turn them into lab test subjects. .
