The explosive population growth in today's world is in Asia (China and India), and in the future it will be Africa, according to the WIRED article you cite. Think, and you'll see that this supports ceoyoyo's assertion. China and India are both working hard to educate their populations (limited by the deep corruption of their political systems.) I see no such hope for most of Africa.
The anomaly here is South America; why is the population not growing there also?
"transferring genes between species that could never procreate together isn't even remotely like evolution." -- never heard of viral DNA insertion in nature, have you?
There are a great number of plants that produce no value for humans or that make significant problems when intermixed with food plants. Consider milk thistle or poison ivy or hundreds of other thorny or poisonous plants growing alongside strawberries, which grow close to the ground and must be hand picked.
Your science fiction imagination is sadly inadequate. Also on the horizon are the creation of new humans without the use of the bodies of either men or women, the creation non-human intelligent beings, and the creation of intelligent beings not based on life-as-we-know-it.
Why do you write "Fuck you", then write "can't wait till we figure out how to get pregnant without men" which indicates that you don't want him to fuck?
By the way, the word missing from your vocabulary is misogynist.
Hungry is a sensation that does not equal undernourished, malnourished, or starving. Stop using "hungry" when referring to the effects of inadequate food supplies. It makes you seem even stupider.
What the hell is wrong with "economic and social inequality"? I can understand complaining about increased poverty, but complaining about inequality is a character flaw known as jealousy. Honestly acquired wealth is something properly to strive for, it indicates that the wealthy man has produced great value for others and traded that for wealth.
Your recollection is wrong. Three categories were evenly split at the outbreak: supporting, opposed, neutral. Actively supported portion will depend upon what actively consists of.
Practical human genetic alteration is coming closer to actual use. Intelligence is important and valuable to humans. Finding what genes, groups of genes, or interactions between genes, affects intelligence will be useful in enhancing intelligence and avoiding mental defects. If race correlates with intelligence after environmental affects are accounted for, then that provides some clues in the search for genetic intelligence enhancement.
Yes, race has been used by people to ameliorate their feelings of inferiority, and race has been used by people to gain destructive political power. That doesn't mean there's nothing of value to be learned by the study of race and intelligence.
I would argue that the purchase of a book brings with it the right to read that book. If the book is destroyed, the right to read it is not destroyed along with the book. However, if the book is sold or given away, the reading right follows the book.
Grow up. Any country looks bad when compared to a perfect castle in the sky. For almost 2 centuries the United States stood tall among the nations of the world.
Atoms are about 10^-10 radius, protons about 10^-15. If proton diameter were the limiting factor in helium flowing through (for instance) iron, iron could no more contain helium than a fish net contains water. Tain't so; your explanation doesn't hold water either.
Bad sector remapping extends life by allowing some sectors to fail without the drive failing.. Crippling remapping would cause an increased return rate.
The youtube videos have to be ultra-high definition, stored in a lossless format at 1000 fps. Copies in all known languages including Klingon. Each must be saved on the drive in triplicate and also stored on a backup drive. Oops! need another drive.

What do you see as the insurmountable barrier to global prosperity?
"Too many people" based on what standard? Causing what problem -- food shortages?
"Not enough fresh water". Water for direct human consumption is dwarfed by water used for agriculture, also by water used by industry.
These things are interrelated. Trying to configure them as separate problems is foolish and futile.

So, bad power politics combined with a disease striking a monoculture crop.
Problems like syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, HPV, chlamydia, "crabs", scabies, hepatitis A and B, HIV, trichomoniasis, amebiasis, giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis, shigellosis, candidiasis, MCV, ebola and Marburg virus.

I don't think Pan Am execs do much laughing, as Pan Am ceased to exist in 1991. Even the re-incarnations are gone.
You "fuck off from the internet until you at least learn what a law" should be.
Your recollection is wrong. Three categories were evenly split at the outbreak: supporting, opposed, neutral. Actively supported portion will depend upon what actively consists of.
Taxi unions pressure legislatures to enact the laws. The purpose is to limit competition, to make more money.
What part of "their share" do you not understand?

Generally, racists promote their own race as best. Funny, Herrnstein and Murray don't sound like Chinese names to me.

The current IRS scandal hasn't entered your consciousness, has it?

Communism is a legalized system of universal stealing. Being legal does not make it capitalism.
Agharta, Inner Earth, whose entrance is at the North Pole.
