Ecologically depleted statist / capitalist human factory farms/ tax cattle/ corporate consumer pens like the one you see in the image below represent a massive failure of imagination and squandering of human creative gifts , we can do better

That many people crammed together in one place is certainly unhealthy, unnatural, inherently degenerative and corrosive to the spirit, though if they were not crammed in (what this tree hugging nature lover sees as) crappy hell holes like this and more evenly distributed in a larger area, that many humans does not necessarily have to have a degenerative impact on ecology IMO.

In my opinion, the ecological decimation resulting from modernity is less a matter of “overpopulation” and more a matter of the Wendigo sickness (anthropocentric/ materialistic greed) guiding modern people’s choices and priorities.

Check out my post below for some examples of how we can feed a large population while enriching biodiversity rather than depleting it.
