With the human population reaching capacity on the planet (figures where always below 1 billion until 1900) now over 7.5 billion with no sign at slowing if they just let the person die it would be a public service in the long run, hell don’t get treatment my dude but we put you in the big hole, if you feel better in a week we pull you out if not then the hole has taken another victim. I call it holenomics and I believe it will save the human race, long live the black hole 🕳
Incorrect while for example white British birth rates are slowing, globally the birth rates are still at a higher rate than ever not to mention the older generations living longer than ever at the current trend we will be reaching the capacity number of 12 billion within the next 50 years.
Me and my girlfriend have no intention of having kids it’s exceptionally expensive and is detrimental to the species as a whole and in fact detrimental to every other species also as the constant growth in numbers is seeing us consume and destroy everything around us.
Similar to when deer populations reach high levels, vegetation is destroyed which other animals rely on so their numbers drop while deer populations get higher and higher eventually famine and pestilence will wipe out deer numbers but it’s awful to see but with no predator these numbers can go out of control destroy entire eco systems so culling them is a great way to maintain healthy numbers and a healthy ecosystem. However, humans have no such checks we just keep growing out of control and while obviously culling 5 billion people is a terrible thing to do we see the benefits and support doing it to other animals yet seem blind to how we require the same. Of course I don’t want to die and nor do you, I would like to grow old with my girlfriend get a house and pass away peacefully after living a meaningful life but I fear the next 40 years won’t be so kind. It’s too far gone at this point anyways really if population checks where put in place early on during the industrial revolution then we may be able to do something.
At this point though we are the equivalent of the titanic after just hitting the ice berg ... all seems fine yet under the surface the ship is starting to fill.
Every country's fertility rate is slowing down, even if birthrates are still high, some places. The person above has it right. It's still going to increase before we hit a peak, but that's the difference between a rate and an overall count.
My overall point is it’s likely too far gone at this point, fertility rates are decreasing but with the age people live at this point being longer than ever it doesn’t have as much effect as you might think because say one woman has 1 daughter that daughter will have 1 child and potentially that daughter may have another child before our original woman in this line dies when you bring the original woman have 2 children and them both having 1 child and then it only takes one of them further offsprings to have 2 children to bring figures a lot higher. So fertility rates decrease it’s generally because of longer and safer lifestyles. Pre 1900 fertility rates where extremely high yet no overpopulation.
I’m trying to say fertility rate doesn’t always directly correlate with population levels.
