Fallacious to say the least. I've explained the reason on why I think it implies that, which is: "people that makes that affirmation with no data or maths to back it up". Which I think is a quite reasonable thing to ask. You reducing it to a "is an emotional response" is a very poor take and bad reading.
Regarding your initial question. I am sorry but I don't see the correlation. The Black Death, for instance, killed between 75 and 200 million people back in 1340-1350 where world population was approx 350,000,000. Following your reasoning, this shouldn't had happened?
Initially, I was expecting from you to give a decent argument like: "There is a strong correlation between wealth, development and low birth rates". Then, based on that, talk perhaps about incentivicing sustainable economic growth. But nope, just talking about reducing humanity by "incentivicing" without being specific or considering the grave implications and then later, talking about your guessing on how covid wouldn't have been a problem.
- mattigames 4y agoThis is the point I would block you but HN has no such button, you really trying to compare current issues from an age people had not the slightest idea for virus worked, that we have no sewers or a lot of things that are now basic higiene. The most obvious incentive is economic, paying childless people to be sterilized, maybe around $3000. No point arguing any more, if you ever really want to learn about this there is a book called "Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update", good riddance.
- Octabrain 4y ago> This is the point I would block you but HN has no such button. Great arguments /s. Anyways, I truly hoped from the beggining a honest exchange of ideas. Instead, I've had you feeling atacked and reacting with condescending attitude. Very dissapointing interaction. Have a good life.
