Not the best thesis, but people should have kids and more of them. That’s not open for debate.
I'll debate it. The world would be way better off with about 6 billion less people in the world.
Edit: My apologies. I am NOT advocating for eugenics, mass murder, or anything else. My thought of having fewer people is wishful thinking of what a better world would be like if we simply never got to 7 billion people in the first place.
I'm so done with this garbage random eugenics idea that the world should have exactly 1 billion people on it like some pseudoscience perfect number.
Its not a debate if you use feeling and lack any reasoning to get to your starting position.
There world is not some incapable small bubble that can only support some racist perfect population size of your desires.
Whoa, wanting less people via having fewer kids isn't eugenics, it's wishful thinking. I don't subscribe to the idea of forcing people to have fewer kids.
Edit: I can see how it sounds like I am advocating for eugenics in my earlier post. I will update it.
Thanks.
Absolutes with a goal for a future population often appeals to a specific group that I can't stand who appeal to it "being necessary" but often leave themselves out. So I try to push back on it so they know it's not acceptable to take seriously. It's just not an answer.
I know it doesn't go over well in these communities but I don't care. If even it pops up in the back of their head when thinking about "what helps" I want counter words there to say hoping for death of nearly everyone is miserable even if it's an "easy" out for suffering.
Thanks for being able to recognize it as wishful past missed conservation.
