But fewer humans would be a good thing. We’re not going anywhere, might as well live within reason.
Don’t disagree. I’ll be the final branch on my family tree.
Lots of people are. The big advent of the modern century has been keeping more people alive longer, not having more kids.
We just happened to be born into a generation that had a glut of human labor without savvy administration to guide its usefulness.
The next generation will be leaner. But the generation after? Who can say? 8B is a lot of people. I don't think humanity is just winking out because we drop below replacement leave.
Lots of other people are still having kids. It's not on any one person or even one nation to worry about.
what is stopping us from choosing excess instead of listening to silly nature?
