I will admit that I think Bill Burr put the issue of overpopulation in mainstream consciousness and I can't deny that I worry that the solutions ( or forced by circumstances -- war comes to mind ) proposed are unlikely to be pleasant for the globe as a whole.
Still, in parent's defense, I am not seeing that stance in my interpretation of that post.
- falcor84 4y agoIs there some interesting connection between Bill Burr and Logan's Run that I'm not familiar with?
- A4ET8a8uTh0 4y agoNot directly. It made me think of it, because of the premise of the movie ( utopian society based on killing off undesirable society members ). Bill Burr's running joke is that there is too many people in the world and if he was a dictator, he would be quietly depopulating the earth by sinking cruise ships ( and help economy by building more cruise ships ), because people who use cruise ships are likely low value individuals ( paraphrasing for brevity ). The connection is there, but it is not apparent ( and not that many people these days are familiar with Logan's Run ).
