And fuck the 900 poor people, they can live in the fucking sea where they won't bother me.

[-] Izzy@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

It's more like we wouldn't birth 900 more people because the density of livable space doesn't allow it.

Agreed. They would just be birthed elsewhere. It has yet to be seen if we can hit a global population cap. It seems like it has to be reached eventually.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago

There is a population cap but it's societal, people have fewer children as they get more education and higher quality of life.

Which is the solution that conservatives don't want to acknowledge, if you think overpopulation is a problem then you solve it by making people not live in such abject misery that they need 6 kids to make sure enough of them survive to take care of their parents when they grow old.

That's not how anything works

We are in a hypothetical plot of tiny land that can be thought of as the entire world. If you have an argument to make based on this rather silly hypothetical world we are talking about then feel free to make it.
