Humans to solve Human produced problems - more the better

Malthus constructed a one-dimensional theory on over population which needs to be revisited. The more humans the more energy to solve the problems.

Using a computer model, the more processing power you have to solve a problem, the quicker and better chance you have of solving the problem. Thus transferring the logic of that model the more people we have, the more chance we have of solving problems.
These problems are critical to the survival of humanity and the planet.
This theory goes against the long held idea that we humans are going to overpopulate the world, starve to death or dire scenarios. And it has a more postive outlook on humanity.
Here is one poing: statistically a genius is produced every million people: so increasing the population to 10 million gives us potentially 10 geniuses. And ideas that geniuses arrive at need people to implement their vision.
The thing about this idea is that there reaches a point of critical mass that engenders a syngertic movement forward in problem solving .
This does not mean that I applaud anti abortion movements on the contrary but the old bugaboo about reducing the population or restricting growth is ridiculous and needs to be relooked at without any Victorian pruience.
Part 2 of this article will give more ideas about repopulating the earth, educating the increase populations and preparing to evacuate the solar system when the sun goes nova! ;)
