That is exactly how we got the planet to its current state: if you give more power to the numbers you'll encourage more numbers. Maybe it's time to give more weight to another human accomplishment than reproduction, like to the value created.
But I don't hear governments giving more voting rights to more populous countries, instead it's to the "more developed" (PIB) and "more powerful" (military) both proxies for wealth.

- avianlyric 5y agoWell that’s clearly not true. Not sure if you noticed but most democratic developed countries are on the verge of population decline. Not to mention a big chunk of human progress happened well before the development of democracy. Actually the worst aspects of human development seem to have been driving primarily by greed and wealth accumulation. The thing you seem to be advocating for.
