Limit the global population? Seems like a much less reasonable and much more draconian solution than releasing the energy technology that has been kept from the public or confiscated. Higher consciousness and these technologies can increase the carrying capacity of Earth dramatically.

Though I do get the sense many peoples' lives are extended much past the point of reason in certain cases. For example I would not approve of vast resources being used to keep me alive past the point I'm able to function.

Lost.
