>Is sustainability even possible anymore?
Yes, but it clearly involves population control.
We should be sending birth-control, not food, to developing nations.
- mikeash 10y agoBirth control doesn't help when people want to have lots of children. Having lots of children is an essential survival strategy in a poor country. If you want them to have fewer children, make them wealthier.
- omginternets 10y agoI'm not convinced by that argument (though I've heard it before). This strikes me as assuming the births are planned, whereas I don't see how they possibly could be. Enriching these countries is certainly part of the solution, but controlling population is part of the solution towards enriching them in the first place.
