Could it be that smart people are right-sizing because they're smart while dumb people are breeding to the edge of starvation because they're dumb?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-59168498914227198242014-07-09T03:34:41.113-04:002014-07-09T03:34:41.113-04:00Why is everyone all up and about population declin...Why is everyone all up and about population decline of late ?<br /><br />The religious angle I can see but unless you are coming from an Abrahamic POV the current large population isn't making life better for anyone. I'm not sure that current overpopulation is even fruitful. stewardship requires sustainability after all.<br /><br />The race angle too, Whites wanting more Whites makes sense. Japanese more Japanese all that <br /><br />More people past a certain point just lowers the quality of life for everyone. <br /><br />As far as I can tell outside of say Wyoming or Siberia or other marginally habitable places ,there isn't a single area where population decline wouldn't be a good thing. <br /><br />While I agree Boko Haram is right in the sense education will reduce population, this reduction simply means less suffering for the living in the long and short run.<br /><br />Does anyone think that say Africa can support a billion people without either them ending up flooding Europe or dying in droves or both ? <br /><br />I don't and as such I'd rather help the living right now with family planning and useless education (and a lot of it as was said is useless) for the long term on this world than earn points for the afterlife of which one or more versions might be utter bunk anyway.<br /><br />As for the rest of the world, its not a crisis unless the only thing you understand is continuous growth or if for some absurd reason the entire planet stays below replacement forever something I find highly unlikely.<br /><br />Frankly I think to a high degree the family planning guys are spot on this oneA.B.
