We cull deer populations (etc) so they don't run out of resources but fail to see any connection to our environmental concerns. Not advocating for culling people, but certainly the footprint we have deemed necessary.
Endless growth isn't possible but most economic systems demand that it happen.
Nothing remarkable about anything here. The machine respects people as much as it respects. the environment; it doesn't.
- HelixEndeavor 5y agoThat's just the pickle though - short of straight up eugenics there aren't really any legitimate "solutions" to the endless growth problem humanity faces.
- IncRnd 5y agoI don't think it was your intention to say eugenics is a legitimate solution, so I'll go on record saying it isn't a solution. It's a recurring problem across the world.
- bmitc 5y agoAny legitimate solution to even just population growth would see the 1% of the 1% have less wealth, and that’s the real reason why any solution will never work. That’s not even addressing culling economic growth and addressing things like wealth distribution and equality, which would be necessary for setting fair population growth constraints. Humanity is damned simply because of, well humanity. We’re chimps at heart and don’t want to share.
