From Off the Kuff, Kuffner in his weekend link dumps posts stuff without comment, and I'm taking silence as assent.

The weirdest of a couple of weeks ago? He's got a piece from some sort of "population growther." The piece is wrong by not looking at Climate change, which we can't "growth" out of, for starters. Interestingly, per the tagline at end, philosopher friend Massimo Pigliucci's sometime co-author Maarten Boudry, but for different reasons, is also a growther. The reasons aren't that much different, and no, Julian Simon hasn't proven Paul Ehrlich wrong. Boudry also doesn't mention climate change, nor do either mention economic equity vs inequity in the world and how that would deplete resources even more. Neither mentions things like species extinction, either.

The reality of what climate change is likely to do to food supply is right here. 

The piece also, to the degree it touches on immigration, is clueless. Some Hein de Haas is needed.

More alarmingly, Boudry's piece first appeared in Quillette. And, the first piece? Site founder Jason Crawford, in discussing why he founded it, cites favorably libertarian economist Tyler Cowen, then Peter Thiel! (Guess Kuff doesn't read fine print.) In addition, Crawford, tho not the wife-murderer, is full of bullshit of the solutionist variety, as Yevgeny Morozov would call it, or salvific technologism, as I do.
