Missed Eliezer Yudkowsky: Simplified Humanism and Positive Futurism.

Plenty of carrying capacity for the biome – 30-300 billion people with advanced biotech. We are using only 1/1000 of the incident energy from the sun. There’s no reason to crash due to lack of resources with advanced tech. Population is predicted to level off at 10 billion.
Good points, but the Singularity is likely to happen on a shorter time scale.
