There appears to be a great deal of discussion on planet earth at this time about the problem of growing populations and where this trend will ultimately lead. Certainly the numbers of the human race have increased rapidly since my time there. It would seem that the natural order of things which has prevailed until recent times, is changing. Let me quote from the secret Addendum to my work ‘Origin of Species’ which I am reliably told is now being circulated amongst the reading public, which illustrates this:-

” The earth is but one planet amongst innumerable planets which happens by chance to have the resources to support life. That life comes and goes with a fickleness and a ruthlessness that is total and disinterested. Whatever the biological form, it suffers plague and pestilence, contest and brutalism, deprivation and extermination, without respite and without structure. Whole generations die at a circumstance, entire species become extinct at a change in the weather, complete life forms disappear through the whim of a natural disaster. Extermination is a universal and brutal necessity. If it were not so, if all life were to proliferate unchallenged, then the earth would have suffocated through overcrowding millions of years ago.”

It would seem that, through the huge improvements in medicine, food production, health standards, and indeed evolution itself, all leading to vastly increased longevity, homo sapiens is now defeating this trend. This could indeed eventually lead to suffocation of the planet unless drastic steps are taken. I do however have great faith in the ability of the species to deal with these problems. But I predict that it will require enormous life style upheavals and changes of attitude to bring to effect.
