I rather like locusts, fascinating creatures. Something about the ordinary grasshopper changes when they are in large groups... they even end up looking different...
And there is something of the swarm in humans, beautiful in our masses.
But what really changed my view on this issue was working out the minimal world population needed to have computers. And realizing only with *even more* people could we have MORE than computers.
