There are not too many people. This is a horrible thing to say. Which ones are the extras?

- mediocregopher 5y agoWhy would there being too many of something imply that there are specific members which should be removed? If we allow the population to stop increasing we can _maybe_ find a way to live sustainably on this earth. No one existing person is "extra".
- bostonsre 5y agoWe're just another animal on planet earth that consumes resources and takes up space. There is some saturation point where no more people can fit and/or no more people have the resources they need to survive. Ideally, the alarm is sounded before that saturation point. It may sound bad to say there are too many people, but it would be a lot worse if we got to the saturation point and billions of people suffered.
