It's clear that, with 8 billion people on the planet, the only way we'll survive is via disruptive technologies. Unfortunately, many of those technologies can be used by evil actors as well. Plus, one never knows what impacts one's disruptive technology will ultimately end up having. They could be both good and bad.
And then there's the Norman Borlaug conundrum. The Aggies brag about how he was a Noble Prize winner (although he won it 14 years before starting to work at A&M) etc... The Aggies claim he "saved" a billion lives. If that's true, those people have gone on to procreate and to create the 8 billion people that we have now. If the end result of overpopulation is the irrevocable despoiling of the one planet upon which all 8 billion survive, and if that results in the deaths of a billion people or more, what did Borlaug save?
As a complete aside, Mark Zuckerberg is building a massive, very secret, technologically-advanced compound on his place in Kauai. Workers have to sign NDAs etc...
