That's a significant bright side. Personally, as someone who enjoys spending time in nature, I would much rather deal with the problems of underpopulation than overpopulation.
- convolvatron 6y agoseriously - what is the problem with 'underpopulation'? just the fact the the financial system is structured around infinite growth?
- lisper 6y agoYep, that's pretty much it. But don't underestimate the difficulty of solving this problem. The entire structure of human society currently rests on this assumption. Discharging it is not easy.
- fogihujy 6y agoIt's just not the financial system, though, it's our entire societies that are designed with growth in mind. It's obvious we need some kind of alternative way to solve this, but getting from here to there isn't something one just does.
