Umm, no. I would like a planet that still has a semblance of uninhabited environments that are mostly unperturbed.
Look at any satellite images of the amount of land that is being used by farming in the world. Those places used to be natural ecosystems that no longer exist.
We have already started a mass extinction event from which the level of biodiversity we used to have is essentially unrecoverable.

- Daishiman 11y agoI want people to not have children so that we can preserve the accumulated genetic legacy of billions of years of evolution, which is what prevents our ecosystems from degrading by making it robust. We are not separate from said ecosystems. Also, what makes you think people's desire to have children trumps the health of the systems we depend on for survival?
- biafra 11y agoSo why do people have children? Why do they have more children in one country and less in another? Take Germany: We have a retirement system that people believe in (I am not saying it is working) and we have less than 2 children per couple on average. In other countries children are your retirement fund. So what if every country had a retirement fund system, that people believed in? Wouldn't that solve the growth problem? Wouldn't that be good for the world to have faith in retiring?
