Answer 2

Explanation:

• The gut-wrenching feeling of hunger and the paralyzing fear of death from starvation is a built-in animal instinct. The gut feeling of animals always predisposes them to instinctively fear overpopulation. To overcome this fear, the animal needs to calm down and look around to see where the food is, and also if the food is safe from other competing eaters. One hopes that the humans are able to rise above the gut feeling and cultivate the calm calculation and analysis using the head far above the stomach.
• People who have calmed down after having eaten well, and after looking around, will have seen that in 2018, the world produced more than 2600 million tons of food grain, which was 70% excess over the required food (1540 million tons) for the 7700 million people. There was no overpopulation at all, so far as food is concerned.
• But those whose minds are paralyzed would be afraid of overpopulation, because they would not have seen that there is an overabundance of food. With their minds paralyzed, they would of course never manage to resolve the paradox that despite over-supply of food, the world indeed has about 800 million poor people, most of whom suffer from hunger. A paralyzed mind cannot comprehend the paradoxical reality that 92% of the world’s hungry people are small producers of food, whose mistake is to produce food whose price has been continuously falling since the beginning of industrial revolution, and making the peasants poorer and poorer to such an extent that they must sell the small amount of food they produce to buy cloth and medicine and such while the price of food is far below the cost of production owing to perennial oversupply. The solution is to take the peasants out of traditional agriculture, and to settle them in towns where they can be trained to do urban work.
• There is no overpopulation and it has no impact. Had there been overpopulation, the food price would skyrocket rather than fall (in terms of non-food goods). Had there been overpopulation, the mortality rate would have gone up rather tan going down. Had there been overpopulation, people would leave the planet rather than hang around. Had there been overpopulation in England, Englishmen would leave their country and go to other countries, instead of bringing in immigrants to do the work that they just cannot manage to do.
