As an antithesis to the affirmative chorus to you comment--human life is essentially and effectively worthless. An excessive number of human individuals inhabiting the planet leads to ecological catastrophe. That we successfully circumnavigated Maltus' predicted calamities for a couple of centuries does not mean we'll be able to do that forever.

> Anyone that is a fan of Bill Gates cannot also be a fan of humanity unfortunately.

What utter nonsense. If you want people to take your opinions seriously, you should start having opinions that aren't obviously wrong.

Haha, indeed I did. Not sure how I managed to quote it but then hit the wrong reply link. I'd suspect a bug but that seems quite unlikely.
