There seem to be major ignorance concerning human over-population ?

The problem is people in general don't want to face problems which will force them to change their lives. People would rather ignore factory and fur farms and animal laboratory tests so they don't feel bad about taking cold medicine, eating too much meat or wearing fur. People would rather destroy entire forests and 70% of all species if it meant they could have a child. Humanity is just that selfish. We live in an idiocracy. A world where stupidity and weak ideologies (like "If it isn't broken, don't fix it." It sounds sound, but digging deeper, there are problems with what it entails) over rule logic and reasoning. As long as the dumbest people procreate, ignorance will be found in the majority of people. It seems that many of the problems will be irreversible until the foolish stop being foolish which won't likely happen until it's too late.
