I like multiplicity, numbers are fun. Abundance can be useful to a point, but overabundance can be an epic pain in the ass.
Now if you consider the fact that all 8 Billion people are cognitively developed sentient beings, you can't just keep herding that like cattle by poisoning the well of media consumption, that's how bad honeysuckle happens, really bad honeysuckle. I'm actively actually afraid of society and for the future, not because people scare me, but because the stupidity of people scares me.
