Reply #204: As far as population goes, there's no "us vs. them"

[bhikkhu]

There's only one planet.

If you actually look at effect of affluence and education on birth rates, its a matter of tenths of a percent. It really solves nothing. The pattern of consumption which is sometimes called "wealth" and which is sometimes supposed to solve the population problem is completely unsustainable in any case, and certainly not where to look for a solution.
