Decrease Population

[flametoken]

Someone tell Isaac Arthur we are not bacteria but human beings

Why did you get the impression that Isaac Arthur thinks we are bacteria? Have you watched the video? Or any other video from his channel?

I think his channel provides quite good quality content about the prospects of human species development and how we can go about colonizing not just our solar system, but also the entire galaxy.

One way to decrease population is to do exactly what the status quo is promoting right now. Become a vegan, change your gender it's awesome, fight for women's rights so they can be happier in an office all day and not have time to give birth and raise children, feminize men  .

It's already happening. Populations are being weeded out because there are too many of us. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria? Vaccines? I don't buy it.

This is why the Virternity project's vision is so important.

What do you think is the best way to decrease population?

First, increase the population by 3 times. Then get the new ones to join together, 2 to 1, against the others. This will reduce the population by one third (even though it doubles the original population.)

On second thought, the best way to decrease the population is to get all the people who are serious about decreasing the population, to commit suicide.

Call me a pessimist, but I think population will naturally begin to decrease in the next 4-5 decades. Pollution is not tackled fast enough, hunger is on the rise in poorer countries, global warming is coming - soon the nature will start balancing things on its own.

1) We will never have an energy source to last enough for a planetary colonization, when oil ends we won't even be able to sustain ourselves on this planet alone if we remain with a growing population like now.
2) I didn't watch the video but I know for sure that, someone advocating for a higher population, is a dick or an ignorant person often both. Our planet has limited resources, limited space, limited energy. Humans shouldn't live like ants scraping everything they can until death, but should have enough space to sustain self-dignity and privacy.
3) The human "race" has many cultures, many contradicting each other values, nations&religions won't stop fighting against one another if they don't give up the very concept of nation&religion. Humans are far from being united, thus having more of them will not improve the conflict but increase it worldwide, especially during an energy crisis or a global famine.

Optimism without facts won't last

population can be decreased by increasing contraceptive awareness. couples should also be made aware that large family size can increase financial burden, hence there is the need to reduce family sizes

Overpopulation is a valuable asset actually, although it`s not the right time to utilize it properly. People can man colonization spacecrafts, but unfortunately we don`t have proper technology for the moment - and it`s a good question if we`ll ever have.

Birth control just like the Chinese people is doing it. And perhaps some people need to take  a psychological test or an economic approval from the government to see if you can become a father

[ATMD]

Birth control, family planning in my opinion can lower population in the long run

Has anybody pointed out that the globalists already have this under way with their various eugenics programmes. These include toxic pharmaceuticals, fluoridation, vaccination, mass migration, AIDs, war, terrorism, pesticides, GM foods, debt slavery, gender blurring, fractional reserve banking, the Eurppean Union and all of the others tricks such as fracking and toxic con trails.

Nuclear war.

It would not decrease the population, rather would wipe it. Ever heard of Nuclear winter.

Any kind of war and disastrous kind of event that actually catches the attention of all kinds of group in the world, it will be an chain of event

War would only lead to a reduced male population which would be followed by a very low productivity and economic growth. Plus a major war would also take its toll on infrastructure which would be completely destroyed. Look at Russia's demographic which is still to improve the population dynamics after WW2.

Anybody who truly wants to decrease the population should do two things. The second is to commit suicide. Can you guess the first? It has to do with self-mutilation.

I think everyone could just masturbate and wait for natural death, it doesn't take much effort to do not stick your cranky smelly dick into a diseases hole

You got a point. stick around. That way there is less food for the breeders.

I really don't know why we need to decrease our population?

[BADecker]

Population will always increase, because too many people want sex and kids.

[KAR9821]

I'm not sure if this thread means decreasing the current population or slowing its growth.

[BADecker]

Both, decreasing the population, and slowing its growth, are against what God wants. In fact, believing in God will increase the population, because God wants people who believe in Him.

It should mean slowing its growth, although considering some latest comments I`m not sure of anything now.
