Thanks, it's a great piece. Population growth has historically been a good thing. However, imagine a constant population going forward; would there remain optimal avenues for prosperity, productivity, etc.? Obviously, in the limit, population growth cannot always be good (probably before we are shoulder-to-shoulder).

Every person in the world currently could fit in Jacksonville, FL. We'll be in all kinds of other trouble before we're shoulder to shoulder.
