We Ignored the Warnings. Now You're Paying the Price

The best science fiction often predicts the future with remarkable accuracy, sometimes decades or even centuries ahead. This is why you essentially have a HAL-9000 in your pocket today. While these predictions typically occur naturally, in the case of Soylent Green, a global group of intellectuals, business leaders, and politicians are actively working to make this dystopian vision a reality.

The debate over global population growth and its potential threats to planetary sustainability largely leans towards a single conclusion: more people mean more problems. This is the central theme in Soylent Green, based on Harry Harrison's novel "Make Room! Make Room!" The story portrays the dire consequences of unchecked population growth as unavoidable. Influential figures like Dennis Meadows, The Club of Rome, Paul Ehrlich, Greta Thunberg, and commentators like Bill Maher believe in a drastic reduction in population and some support enforcing this grim future, regardless of the human cost.

However, embedded in Soylent Green—both in its narrative and the life of one of its actors—is a message of hope and a belief in our ability to address and solve the problems we create, ultimately improving the human condition.

The simple truth that the proponents of population control refuse to accept, a truth that challenges their worldview and turns you into their adversary, is that you are not the problem. You are the solution.
