E22: Why Overpopulation Is a Dangerous Myth – Dr. Marian Tupy Explains

Dr. Marian Tupy joins El Podcast to explain why population growth fuels innovation and prosperity—not doom—and how misguided green policies threaten global progress.

Guest Bio: Dr. Marian L. Tupy is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, editor of HumanProgress.org, and co-author of Superabundance: The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet. Originally from communist Czechoslovakia, Tupy specializes in economic development, globalization, and the interplay of freedom and innovation.

Topics Discussed:

  • The false apocalyptic narrative of overpopulation
  • The religious nature of radical environmentalism
  • Why energy affordability is crucial to global prosperity
  • The psychological roots of pessimism and envy
  • How population decline and overregulation threaten innovation
  • Classical liberalism vs. modern progressivism
  • The power of human creativity to solve global challenges

Top 3 Quotes:

  • “A baby is not just born with an empty stomach, but with a brain capable of improving the lives of others.”
  • “The overreaction to a non-existent threat is less costly than underreacting to a real one—that’s why humans evolved to be pessimistic.”
  • “Don’t compare yourself to people who are better off—compare yourself to your past self, or to those with less. That’s the path to gratitude.”
