Forty billion people who live like Americans do or 40 billion who live like Pakistanis?

As it is already, 90% of the world's population contribute nothing of value.

40 billion pygmies maybe.

Yep, me too. I also read that all of the earth’s population could,fit into Texas with room to spars (not that we wouod want to of course, but just to put into perspective how much land there is compared to people)

The 9nly reason that there is supposedly only 4% arable,land is because a,vast majority of it is off limits to man’s use, ie parks, nature preserves, “forever wild” areas, etc etc e5c
