    Human population should probably reduce to about 10% of what it currently is. Basically, as a species, people need to get over the arrogance of needing to propagate THEIR genetic lines, as if that’s somehow important. It’s unsustainable.

      Will you be the one to be deciding who can and cannot have kids then? Will sterilizations be optional? Or will they be mandatory for undesirables only? Every study ahows that simply providing decent food and home security results in decreased in birth rates.

        If you’ll re-read my comment, you’ll notice that I put the onus on people as a whole and not some group that would make the decisions.

          Hey, you’re the one saying he wants 7.2 billion people to die, take some responsibility and tell us who should be first into the camps.

            Why do people assume that talking about reducing population by lowering birthrates always jump to mass murder? Idk, maybe it’s just a severe lack of reading comprehension or critical thinking…

              Because when you’re talking about reducing population “to 10%” you sound like a genocidal ghoul. Work on your own critical thinking and maybe consider acquiring a modicum of common sense.

                I read the original comment, and they never said to kill anyone. As an example if people only had 1 kid per person, that would eventually drop the population by 50%, then keep going. This is just an example, and a peaceful one.

                They never said anything about killing or genocide, nor did they imply it. Maybe you lack common sense.

                  You’ll prevent the birth of trillions of people because of that. Monster! /S

            We all die eventually. Nothing wrong with that. If I learned anything in DiffEq it’s that uncontrolled growth will eventually blow up the model or find some mode of control.

            Reducing human population will be a painful process and we’re already seeing the beginning of it. People don’t need to be killed to reduce population by 10%.

            Birth rate needs to be smaller than death rate.

            There are lots of things that effect birth and death rate.

              He said “to 10%” not “by 10%”, meaning he thinks we should reduce population by 7.2 billion people. That requires more than statistical differences. That requires mass death.

      Human population should probably reduce to about 10% of what it currently is.

      So you’re saying 90% of the human race should die? And here I thought the IDF was genocidal!

        No, it’s about reducing replicating to avoid a 90% die off

          Reducing to 10% (like he’s proposing) would be a 90% die-off.

            Everyone is going to die at some point. They’re not suggesting hastening that, but rather not replacing yourself.
