Except that in most cases the new "mouth" lives an horrendous experience in overpopulated and poor countries and does not even get a shot to bring his "scalable innovation". They usually just die shortly after.
So, no. More people does not equal infinite minds for a better future and a warm, fuzzy feeling. It usually just means suffering. What you want, is more people in first world countries.
- prottog 4y agoYou have to have more people in poor countries before they can even have a chance to develop into first-world standards of living. We can't declare poverty to be solved after all poor people have died off.
- BiteCode_dev 4y agoI'm taking that you haven't lived in those countries to say that. I lived in Mali for 2 years. They are never going to join us in the club of first-world standards living, they have no resources but sand in their country, not enough tree to make paper to write on. Their society was perfectly adapted to that before we told them they should have computers that they can't affort because they have nothing to contribute to a global economy. Besides, you assume you need more people to be developped, while France is only 60 millions people, smaller than a lot of developping country.
