OK, yes that is it, but...I'll wager my left testicle that the VAST
majority of people would most definitely NOT want to live with TRILLIONS
of other people. People actually DO like their parks and wilderness
areas. They actually DO like wildlife and open land. They actually
DON'T want to pave the entire surface of the planet and kill off all
non-humans.

They type who care about more than their own individual lives. The type
who wants comforts gained from technology yet not at the cost of the
environment and other species. The type that would rather have
relationships and interactions with living, breathing creatures rather than
machines and computers...leaving them for what they are: tools.
