And as a writer, what messages or themes would you have me focus on in my work FIRST? What would be the steps you would have people follow in shifting the belief structures? Where do you focus first to begin the change and then where do we move forward?

LOVED this lecture! Thank you, Tok! As the human population continues to grow exponentially, don't you think that encouraging space travel to advance as an option to decrease Earth's human population would be beneficial? Not the ONLY answer (we have to learn to care for this planet for those -- humans AND others -- left here, too), but wouldn't it serve us and the planet (all plants and animals remaining) to encourage as many options as possible for decreasing the HUMAN population here (without unthinkable routes like genocide and hoping there aren't "natural" massive declines in the population)?
