>What saved us was the surprising phenomenon...

It's only surprising if you (like Malthus and Erlich) had the intellectual arrogance to believe you could predict the future.

I cannot predict humanity's future, but I can look at our past, and our progress looks excellent so far. Betting against our continued success seems to require serious mental gymnastics.
