I guess its thinking of overpopulation as a phenomenological effect on the individual vs the global effect of all of us on the environment. Interesting point though, I had never thought of it in that way before. People all over the world are already living in Blade Runner levels of density.
- goatcode 4y ago>living in Blade Runner levels of density It's interesting both that they do that and that we've been so conditioned to think that it's somehow a necessity. I once watched a breakdown of population and housing, and the author of the piece calculated that everyone currently living on earth could live in a one-story comfortable family house, with a yard and space for community parks and gardens, and the entire population of the planet would fit inside of Texas, with some tens of thousands of acres left over in the state. It blew my mind, and made me really ponder the nature of why we live the way we do in some cases.
