It is a big mistake to think that science and technology will enable us to keep on growing in numbers without ending in an immense population crash. What is happening is that the growth of religiouness in our society and, indeed, in others as well, is cutting down science. Religious reaction is growing and has been for the last some 40 years. Even the periodic liberal phases of this cyclical down-trend are characterized by being always LESS liberal than the last such cycle.

I can't agree more with these points. Birth control is needed to stop our suicidal population growth, that will eat up resources/ pollute everything into oblivion. Everybody keeps on about the financial crash but this 'theoretical', not 'real' ('You cannot eat money' American Indian statement about our social token of exchange). Before this crash came a real moral/ morale one came as community started to break down and Learning (education) stopped. The answer to the financial crisis is to pour more money in - is the answer to worthlessness and pointlessness of life, to pour more bodies in?
