@stux this is one of the things my wife and I argue (or usually don’t bother any more) about – my stance is

The world is not running out of energy, the world is not running out of resources, the world isn’t skint

There’s plenty of room for anyone who wants to come to anywhere – here in the UK if we let in every person who comes over by small boat, every one of them and more, we’d be enriched more than inconvenienced, we’ve got the room, we’ve got the resources, they’d definitely benefit us by being here

I don’t think any country anywhere in the world at any time ever has had to announce that it is honestly “full up” – that’d be ludicrous and a failure to recognise benefit from the existing or future resources, and it’d be a total lie

The potential of all the humans we have on the world today is less than it could be because of compartmentalisation and barriers, mostly there because of selfish ignorance and distrust and fear – the fear needs to be dissolved, the ignorance needs to be solved, then the world becomes better
