Suppose these theoreticians start a world war in which six billion
people are killed and only one billion survive. The needs of one
billion people would be covered by about 200 million people.
It follows that logic and mathematics deny the truth of the theory
of overpopulation. It makes no difference whether there are 20
billion or one billion people. What matters is the social
relationships and social development that will provide better
living.
How is it possible that even today there are terrorist attacks in
which innocent people are killed? Is it possible that cases of
raping still occur, that it is normal to have wars and famine in
some regions? It all comes down to some ridiculous interest.
Someone makes huge money, makes lots of people miserable
and buys an island where he lives alone… It is almost as funny
as Robinson Crusoe who lived alone on an island.
It is strange how the system that has been imposed on us
preoccupies us with the material, which is essentially empty. You
buy and island with an exotic beach, you sit alone there like a
deserted dog and at the same time you pay for an interview in
which the reporter publishes photos of your lovely house and
beach. People see it and enviously want to have the same. What
a fraud!
