The Misanthropic Attitude
This chapter delves into the attitude of a misanthropic group that sees humanity as a virus and believes that the more people there are, the worse the world will become.

The chapter also explores the moral dilemma of the belief that there are too many people, and how this argument lacks a strong moral defense.
