If Canuck wrote: "More people equals more minds equals more human horsepower available to solve problems." Then he is partially correct. More people does equal more minds. There is no evidence that it equals more horsepower to solve problems. Anyone that thinks that no doubt thinks committees make good decisions too.
What was the human population when J.S. Bach was writing music?
There haven't been any better?
Lets run down the list of the greatest minds of which we know?
Newton? Einstein? DaVinci? Rembrandt? Pythagorus? shall I go on?
If Canuck was correct then it would follow that a human population on this planet of 60 billion would be better than a human population of 6 billion. Anyone want to test it out?
