I am not sure what all the fuss is about and when people will realize that we have too many people on this planet. This is the problem that needs to be addressed, like, yesterday. <br><br>Hell, the reason most of us don't live on a farm anymore is because of the labor surplus we had like 200 years ago, which made labor cheap and created a reason to invest in automation to minimize the use of the abundant labor. <br><br>I am not saying that we need to kill anyone. But this planet can't sustainably feed the ever-growing population and when people are freed from labor, they can focus on assurance of food sovereignty. <br><br>Hopefully, there is a shift to some sort of neo-feudal-capitalism model that would actually create incentives for people to farm (free land, like in Russian Far East). <br><br>Or humans can go full force on engineering species that can cultivate the soil for us.
