    Montaigne’s faith is so confusing. But I understand there is heavy bias behind his culture for certainty’s. So I give him the benefit of the doubt for that.

    From 10,000 BCE until about 1750 AD, world human population hovered between 100 million and 500 million. Suddenly, in the years before this essay, written in 1798, it began to creep up in an exponential fashion. Using math and the burgeoning sciences of the era along with critical thinking, Malthus tried to fashion a description of what was happening and predict, given the knowledge of the times, what might happen in the future. I read this in 1963 at age 13 but it deserves another look as I enter my final years.
