Assuming negative population growth ends in a total world population of zero is as insane as thinking positive population growth ends in people stacked ten deep

Assuming negative population growth ends in a total world population of zero is as insane as thinking positive population growth ends in people stacked ten deep in Antarctica.
The maths works out, but the reality doesn’t.
- ninetyninenine 1y agoIt seems that way and of course it likely won’t get that extreme but the scenarios aren’t symmetric. Extinction is a real phenomenon. There have been many extinctions is your life time. It is directly a physical possibility both from a logical standpoint and an evidence based standpoint point. Like this isn’t just math it’s reality. People stacked 10 deep is not a physically possible scenario. There aren’t enough resources on earth to sustain that level of population.
