I believe it is within our capacity that by the year 2051 that 51 percent of the human population will be flourishing. That is my charge.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.
By the year 2040, the world's population is likely to increase by about 2 billion people, with also projected economic output will be up about 130 percent versus the year 2010.
I'm a big fan of huge populations of people, so you'd think with 300 million people in the country, you don't even have to please 1% to be phenomenally successful.
I think the Baby Boom has enjoyed itself, maybe sometimes a little too much, and we're continuing to enjoy ourselves, maybe a little too much.
Our planet's lands and oceans are already stretched to meet the demands of 7 billion people. The human population continues to grow. The search for sustainable solutions is an economic and a moral imperative if we are to create the future we want.
Our growth rate continues to be staggering.
We need happy, productive citizens on our planet for us to survive.
We all know we're going to die one day, but who wants to think about it? What's sustainable is joy, pleasure and freedom.

We can no longer prosper by increasing human productivity. The more we try to do, the more poverty we will create.
