Apparently, Dr. Pianka advocates the elimination of 90% of the Earth's 
human population because we are overtaxing the planet's natural resources.

I certainly cleave to the opposite conclusion; as a Transhumanist, I 
have a innately positive outlook on the (post)human future, and a 
confidence that science can and will provide answers to the legitimate 
questions of how to deal with finite supplies of various resources to 
support our expanding population.
