The problem with Fuller's reasoning is that next generation, that ten thousand becomes a hundred thousand.



All around the world, educated women with a first-world standard of living are the weakest producers of babies humanity has ever known. Wealthy, educated people simply don't overpopulate.


Fuller didn't say that the ten thousand were wealthy and educated, he said they wouldn't have to work for living.


Surely there is some limit to population growth. Certainly there are many countries whose populations are known to be in decline.
