  That depends where you live. I wouldn’t want to live in India, which is crowded as hell. But Half of Canada is basically empty. Half of Australia is basically empty. Some of the states in the USA are basically empty. The majority of russia is empty.

  Space isn’t the issue.

    Those places are empty because it is not easy to live there. And we should leave those places alone anyway.

    Australia and Canada are most uninhabited because there’s a lot of uninhabitable land. I do agree that a lot of land use isn’t efficient, but there is also generally a reason people don’t live in central Australia.

  The world really is not all that crowded, it only feels that way because our land use is inefficient

  More scientists and inventors, more philosophers and artists, more people that share your niche hobby…
  The only people who have a problem with that, are hipsters or just like dieing a preventable death.
