Lets have a debate/brainstorm session /sci/.

How could we, and should we curb overpopulation on the planet?

Me personally, my wife and I adopted a child instead of having our own.
>>
Just like it happened in the West.

1) Create a working pension system
2) Improve the education and legal rights of women.

Anything else is just fantasy.
>>
>>8925306
Birthrates are lowest among the most intelligent, and intelligence is a heritable trait.

Do you see a potential problem here?

make people sterile in mass population centres? i mean, not permanently but with pills so that people living in places with massive overpopulation (eg. india, china, africa.) or poverty must pay for a medicine that makes them fertile for awhile. and a limit on how many you can buy.

may seem a bit extreme but do you really want a child born into that sort of life?

Ya that makes sense.

The solution is very simple. White people have to stop having children. You should instead just adopt black children or other minority children.

Impossible in the current world. Ideally though :

- Institute a strict one-child policy which involves mandatory sterilization of both parents after one child

- Stop helping third world countries in any way unless their governments agree to implement said policy (under independent control).

maybe educate everyone on contraceptives and sex in general and lower rape rates, increase affluence (more affluent people have less kids)
this is all pretty hard stuff to do though

I'm not a /pol/ cuck, but civilized westerners have nothing to do with overpopulation. At all.

It's uneducated people from Africa and the Middle East or places with selfish cultures such as India, China, that are producing way too much population for their regions to handle.
In China and India there is such disgusting squalor it's incomprehensible.

Modernization and education in those regions are key. No idea how it can happen.

The overpop problem is due to excessive human
fertility. Human females average 65 fertile days
per year, more than most medium/large
mammals. Reducing fertility should be made
a priority for large-scale GenMod.

Solving a problem with an unnecessarily humiliating and forceful approach like mandatory sterilization and strict population control will only serve to unite a billion unaligned people against you, overturn the policy, and set back your goal farther than it is now.

Incentivize people to share your ideals and make it profitable in the immediate term to comply with a reasonable intermediary stage of control.

mandatory change on a global scale is an unreasonable goal and counterproductive. Work to make your goal attractive, not inevitable.

Raise the world out of poverty to a western standard of living. Endorse feminism, female autonomy, and access to contraception. Most of the western world already has negative population growth.

We arent even close to facing global overpopulation. Regional maybe but that's a societal issue created by the cunts who need wage slaves working together. If we wanted to help people we could but there's no money or power benefit for doing so.

i unironically suppose you are correct, humans were much more in touch with nature before the whites started growing such big brains. Tents and huts are technically much more green than septic sewers, coal powered plants, factory farms, open pit mining, etc. etc. etc.

Also disease and malnutrient would quickly kill off the weak, curbing overpopulation naturally. Of course the Justin Biebers of the world woulding exist because tribal leaders wouldn't have time for their gay ass shit and would either banish them or just sacrifice them to whatever god made them happy.

i have really struggled with whether and how to respond to this. The execution of this message was very nice and respectful, and I genuinely appreciate that. The premise, however, is problematic. Maybe not inherently, but within the context of the sexist society we live in. Men are allowed, and often feel compelled, to think out loud at women, to share unsolicited not necessarily informed thoughts at women. (And usually these men, unlike you, don’t even seem to recognize that their thoughts may not be useful.) Women on the other hand aren’t allowed to be as open. So, if you want to not just be respectful, but actually be anti-oppression, it is better (IMO) not to respond to a woman’s work with the types of thoughts that other men pawn off as insights, if you know what i mean. again, i appreciate your honesty, but i feel obligated to point these things out.

I used to worry about overpopulation and wanted 2 children as a result.

No, it has always been like that. There is plenty of historical evidence. Unless you think that 150 million people is overpopulated (during the Roman Empire)? The reason for this is humans are clannish. They usually only help out people who are in their family group/clan. Everyone else can fuck off. Genetically speaking that is a good thing. It got us where we are today.

That is true. The only resources you need are air, water, food, and shelter. You don't need an ipod, internet access, or a car. There's plenty of space on the globe for every person to farm all the crops they want and more than enough air and water.

Get real. As populations grow and cities develop, the environment around it degrades. This is inescapable.

There's a creek/river near my house which less than 50 years ago was clear and full of fish. Now it's brown sludge. This is just the smallest example of what happens when human populations continue their exponential growth.
Better example, the river ganges in india. Absolute filth, and it's because of human population growth.

I don't argue that human's won't be able to support themselves and live in this world at higher populations, I argue that it won't be a world worth living in.
