I don't think that the problem is too many people. It's not enough, and not managed well enough.

I don't think that the problem is too many people. It's not enough, and not managed well enough.
- guard-of-terra 11y agoWhy would we need even more people? People will not get managed much better unless they are scarce.
- Mz 11y agoPeople will not get managed much better unless they are better educated. FTFY.
- guard-of-terra 11y agoPopulation of Russia is very educated but one of the worst mismanaged, for counterexample.
- sangnoir 11y agoWhy would we need even more money? Money will not get managed much better unless it is scarce.
- guard-of-terra 11y agoThis is true too. When there's too much money it blows a bubble.
- lisper 11y ago> It's not enough It's very hard to take you seriously if you make a bald assertion like that with no supporting arguments. It doesn't help that it's an assertion that, to me, seems absurd on its face. Seriously, how can anyone think there are not enough people? I would really like to know.
- zghst 11y agoI used to be in the camp of "there's not too many people" but then I look around and see how polluted and crowded it is all over the world and imagine 40 years later when there are 9 billion people contributing to the existing pollution and heavy burden on the infrastructure and environment. There are too many people.
- eru 11y agoThe Netherlands and England seem pleasant enough. The world as a whole is way below their population density numbers.
- guard-of-terra 11y agoThose benefit from a very very nice location: temperate weather, lots of rain, plains, sea shore. Compare that to Central Africa, North Siberia or most of Australia. There's no way to live there at comparable density without being miserable.
- eru 11y agoJust sprinkle two thousand Singapores around the world. No need to make Australia as dense as England.
- chiph 11y agoIn my own lifetime (I'm in my early 50's) the population of my home state of South Carolina has doubled (2.46mm to 4.89mm). Picking Oklahoma so I don't get criticized as cherry-picking the data (it's often described as a "flyover" state and isn't considered a migration destination), they have gone from 2.4mm to 3.8mm people in the same time. So they've grown as well, but not doubled. So unless you live in an area that is depopulating (Syria? Japan?), I think your assertion is incorrect.
