Bump. (Can one bump threads that are over three years old?)

Seems like, more and more, people are starting to care about this.

Why would proportions of people being born matter matter? The essential is in that each person that IS born has a good life. 

 

People should have as many children as they want and can properly take care of. The glorification and personnification of collectivities is an unhealthy obsession, it's even worse if you start making it into a competition. 


As long as they are happy, why would it matter if the next generation is smaller than the previous? 

 

Every person must be seen as an individual, and evry individual has equal right to exist. Don't treat people as a cattle breeds. 

Populations, ethnicities, come to be, evolve and disapear. But in contrary to the people that compose them, they have no feelings, thoughts or rationality - ultimately, their fate is irrelevant.

 

Also, just as a reminder, there are currently more caucasian white individuals than there were total people 200 years ago. Not exactly dying off there.

 

 

 

 

I am by the way for macroplanning the populations of rural Africa, let's say - make sure that there aren't more children than the land can feed. But the finality of these actions must always be protection and/or the hapiness of individuals, not in the name of a supposed greater entity.



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.
