This is a false dichotomy.
> You act as if calling for an end to half the humans on this planet is a horror.
> Reducing the human population isn't a horror, it's a mercy, and not just for us.
This is a horror on par with Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, or Maoist China — and why I called it a “death cult”.
> We are talking about potentially giving every new child an eventual death sentence with inevitable liver cancer here
…so your solution is to definitely abuse humans so badly they don’t breed?
That doesn’t make sense: why is potential cancer worse than definitely ruining the reproductive health of the population?
Your cure sounds worse than the disease.
> It buys us time to try and resolve the dysfunction of our species.
The only dysfunction I see is people like yourself trying to repeat the worst horrors of human history because this time fanatic authoritarianism won’t end in tragedy.
- superchroma 4y agoFanatic natalism and capitalism already created tragedy. We're talking cure now and nobody ever likes how the medicine tastes. That said, the only person invoking death camps and gulags here is you.
