Continuing to increase the world population is absolutely nuts.

*I’m not interested in gradual natural declines from whatever factors. 2 max implemented now.

    If you wanna end up with billions of dead baby girls, sure, cuz that’s what happens.

    Instead, best way to curve overpopulation is just improve education.

    Also we still have tonnes and tonnes of room for growth if we just stopped being incredibly wasteful. We produce multiple times the food to feed everyone on earth already, but almost all of it ends up thrown out and wasted.

    We need a fundamental shift in priorities, and better push on legislation to get food into people’s mouths.

      Not every country has the obsessive cultural view that males are better.

        So you’d end up with mountains of dead babies whose sex doesn’t matter. Is that any better?

          Let’s see, uh… what the fuck are you talking about? You think people would carry babies to term and then just kill them vs. abortion, contraception or sterilization?

            That’s what we have seen in China time and time again. Given that the areas of the world where a 2 kids rule would be most applicable are the countries that lack access to medical care, contraception and education, that’s what would happen there as well
