There is no "world". There are 200-some nation-states. Each sovereign, laws unto themselves.
I agree that each of these should take care of their own. In my nation-state, 11 children per minute aren't dying. I have no say in how other nation-states do it, and no advice they would listen to. I'll stay out of their business.
Will their lots improve, do you think, when modern civilization starts to collapse, because the only people who know how to run the pharmaceutical plants are geriatric? When they lose their minds due to senility, when they die?
You're worried about the wrong things, letting your feelings guide you instead of your reason.
We won't reach 10 billion. It's doubtful we'll reach 9. There will come a day when Japanese, Korean, and Italian are dead languages. Shit's real.
> We're unworthy because of how we treat humans here today, arguably.
I'm worthy. My wife's worthy. My children are worthy. Don't speak for me. I'm not a part of your "we". I don't feel guilt for actions not my own, for things that happened before I was born, for circumstances outside of my control. I don't know why you could feel guilt like that. Is it some sort of posturing? A young man might do it if he thought young woman were attracted to that. Are you young? Are women your age attracted to it?
If they are, do any of them seem like good prospects for marriage?
