MODERATORS
I will express a very unpopular and controversional opinion, but truth can be cold and merciless: if we don't make life interplanetary a lot of people will die of starvation from overpopulation in a few decades.
Elderly people, while being an important source of wisdom, are objectively a burden to every society, economically and sanitaryly. They can't be the majority.
We need young and productive people to keep any form of society going. I'm not saying that coronavirus was a good thing but maybe, just maybe, reducing life expectancy is not such a tragedy, for now.
Please reply objectively and rationally, not with your gut
I’m confused. You reference the challenges associated with an aging population and seem to be attributing it to over population. Isn’t it the reverse?
