Why do we celebrate Liebig and his dark lord successor Haber-Bosch? We do get more nitrogen but at the cost of assimilation failure back in the environment. Non-assimilated nitrogen and its volatile compounds create just the conditions for a pandemic virus to develop..
Sure, we could do a rousing rendition of Monty Python's "Every Sperm Is Sacred". There's a theoretically infinite number of people who aren't being born.
On the other hand, lots of people dying of Malthusian starvation would not have been pretty.
There's probably some reasonable middle ground here.
The "conditions for a pandemic" are just modern global society.
(The jury is out, if over-population causes an environmental crash that kills billions, will it all have been worth it? We are victims of our own success, and have a needle to thread.)
From what I understand, he had some kind of academic library access for PACER and used that to bypass what others would be changed for. There are lawsuits against PACER charging fees for what's public information generated by taxpayer money. He ended up being charged with various crimes related to maybe computer fraud and eventually committed suicide. A very sad story.
A airplane's wings allows flight not because of a negative pressure over the foil but because of repulsive electromagnetic charges in the air below foil (same force that allows capillary upward movement of water in tree trunks). Can an electrocharged hull repel electrocharged bubbles?
