There's enough humans walking around and 200,000 new ones are being added to the pool every day. It's not really a choice.

It's not really a choice.
- andybak 9y ago> There's enough humans walking around There's an awful lot of debatable thinking hidden in those 5 words.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoYou think we need to increase the human population of Earth?
- lostlogin 9y agoI doubt andybak does. But as soon as you get into the ways you stop 'them' breeding you end up in a very dark place.
- aerique 9y agoThat is true and andybak is correct. I have been thinking more and more about this and the mind certainly wanders to dark places. On the other hand, it is a problem that keeps getting bigger. It feels a bit like the elephant in the room. Either because of the aforementioned "solutions" that come up initially[1] or because "science will fix it" since it has been shown that once people have it well they stop having a lot of kids. Still, every five days there's 1 million more people on this earth and it doesn't look like most of these people will have it good in the near future. And meanwhile everything else just has to make room for more of us. It just doesn't seem sustainable. [1] And who am I to stop people from having kids? I've got two myself.
