This has to be one of the worst essays I have ever read, all dressed up as academia. Reading this "essay" is proof that being a univ. professor does not mean one is smart.
His arguements can easily be challenged and declared invalid. On the language side, this is the first time I have ever seen 5th grade English used to write a philosophy essay by someone with a career such as his.
In other words, what a load of steaming :BS

But why would anybody want that many people? He's just like someone I read from an atomic energy blog who thinks that we can nuclear power our way to 20 billion people because he thinks people are "valuable resources with enourmous potential"
Besides, who would spend $100,000,000 on a college education to major in philosophy? I think only men who want to be Catholic priests do.
Besides, isn't philosophy a line of cosmetics on QVC?

That's very easy to say when you are an academic who lives a very insulated life at Stockholm University.
If this guy really hoping to see a world population of 10, 20, or 50 billion (as he states in the article), he should take a look at some images from the slums of Mumbai, India. This puts a human face on what overpopulation actually looks like.
I encourage you to Google search what the situation throughout Indian cities is like in terms of clean drinking water, sanitation, disease, food supply, etc.
