| Zucas said: Well I indeed like this post, and almost an antithesis to that of stickball's. This completely takes the notion of the human condition in. I will go over the parts I agree with first and then give my concerns for the other parts. First and foremost, this world does have way too many people. The main problem concerning a lot of our world's issues is the problem of population (hunger, poverty, lack of space, conservation, global warming, etc.). Obviously population isn't sustainable at our current number. But of course, mother nature has a way of working these things out and eventually she well get the human population down to something sustainable. I guess natural genocide is a little easier to cope with than an artificial one. But obviously I agree with this point. |
People have been saying the worlds had too many people for a while now. There have even been science fiction stories about post apocolyptic futures because an overpopulated world with less population than present 'had collapsed' for some reason or another. Its been an ongoing thread of discourse, so why now would there be too many people for the world to sustain? What reason is there? Hunger and poverty are symptoms of a lack of development and/or productivity for a given population size. Theres more than enough food to go around, just not where people are hungry.
Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?
