But the world's population is greater than it was at the time of the bubonic plague. The plague also originated in Asia.

You can't solve the worlds problems because new ones will always continue to pop up. Sure, we are more technologically advanced now. But while techonology has improved things, its also opened the door to cause more destruction. 50 years ago, you couldn't kill a few million people instantly using a bomb. Biochemical and nuclear weapons weren't a threat. As weapon technology gets better, guns will become more destructive and lethal. How much longer until science creates a rail gun type weapon? And of course, all this money is being spent on science and technology, yet millions and millions of people continue to die of starvation or are homeless, because new weapons, or fancy buildings are more important than saving lives. We have the resources to substantially reduce world hunger, but its more important for us to spend a trillion dollars sending a ship to Mars to crash on its surface and kill the crew. Expecting the world to ever really get better is wishful thinking. As long as humans are in control, it will be a violent, screwed up, and painful place to live.
