I think that population is an area that obvious enough that I would expect smart people on lesswrong and the effective altruism community to not be ignorant about the topic.
Why? It seems like your comment was intended for someone asking a different question than the one I’m asking. I’m not asking for arguments and reasoning you can come up with that are population/resource usage related, but rather why you think a moderate portion of LessWrong and the effective altruism community have put sufficient thought into it that it no longer needs to be discussed in contexts like LessWrong. I had though it was obvious that that was the point I was questioning, and so would be the focus of any question I asked in response of your response, but it seems it was not as obvious as I thought it was.
Basically: Why do you think population growth is an “obvious” issue?
