I do not disagree. I am as surprised as you are. I think we are having a misunderstanding. All I am trying to say, apparently very badly, is that they are not producing enough food or other products to trade for food and using technology to change their paradigm, that they continue the cycle of reproducing, living at subsistence level by this means, generation after generation. Of course cheap child labor can't compete with technology. They continue to reproduce but don't produce excess. I don't mean just food. Would they not have a better life if they had to feed fewer mouths and adopted other methods of security? I am not suggesting they are simply breeding themselves into poverty... I think I have just been unclear... I have examined the above and I’m in agreement with the study you cited.
I don’t care if the third world eats 3-D food. Those despots you speak of will likely control the machines won’t they? I don’t want them here.
Ref. video, No! That is when the rats start to cannibalize.
Befuddled...
