We may very well starve to death.

We may very well starve to death.

Unless war and disease decimates the population.

And they want to end abortions.

Modern science deals with biological threats quite well now.If covid had have been on the table 150 years ago, it would have taken more lives.War...well that's another story.We should pay closer attention to the Russian/Ukraine disaster.

8 billion minus the losses in Russia...........................

If not for the Bubonic plague, Spanish flu, WW2, etc the population now would likely be over 10 billion....

But that was before antibiotics & other life-saving meds.Different game now.
There's just too many people on this planet...something has to give.

Yeah , we even have boner medication now...................

I don't know ... I don't believe it because it's contradictory to population decline reports
with countries like the US, Italy and south Korea just to name a few reporting a decline in births

The old ideas of having many farm hands has given away to automation and robotics.
What once took a family of 15 on a farm is now replaced by farm equipment
What once took 5 - 6 and 7 hundred assembly line jobs is now replaced by robots which work 7/24 without holidays or unions
we see it around us ,, people are having 1 kid or no kids. We hardly see multiple kid families ,, we can hardly afford the high costs of rent, utilities, car , insurance , food , and cloths ,, never mind the expense of feeding and raising kids

I think todays kids in their 30's and 40's ,, are getting by with the help of "the bank of Mom and Dad" (who are in their 60's and 70's) and have some money but as soon as they are gone, today's kids are gonna burn through that inheritance paying off debt, their kids will hardly afford themselves

The more computation, automation and robotics are getting bigger better and more efficient, the less the need for people
I think humanity is in the commencement of a population decline phase

I wish they would try that with a Siberian tiger...& when the tiger has it on the ground, the "techie" has to go in to retrieve it.
I have come to hate people.
