   History was rewritten to delegitimize population concerns:   
   we need to reassert the truth.   
   In the old fable of the Emperor’s New Clothes, people denied    
   the emperor’s nakedness because they wanted to be seen as smart.    
   Today people deny overpopulation because they want to be seen as    
   moral. It is a form of virtue signaling: are you for justice and    
   equity and families and being nice to refugees, or are you one    
   of “The People Who Hate People”? Few look at the data to see    
   whether their position actually favours those goals, or whether,    
   indeed, they are having the opposite effect, obstructing progress    
   toward a fairer, more peaceful and sustainable world. How did it    
   come about that so many people became so passionately misinformed?
