World population is very small.

[Sithara007]

Statistics indicate that most people would rather use these less populated places for a remote vacation while continuing to live in populated countries. Aside from a few countries like the Vatican

LOL... do you know that Vatican is one of the most densely populated countries in the planet? The population density there is close to 2,300 people per square kilometer, which makes Vatican one of the top 10 most densely populated countries in the world.

I think that the world population isn't very small, it is somehow right at some point. Comparing the world population to money and data isn't a right comparison. Yes there's a lot of money because everything now has an equivalent to money value. There's also a lot of data stored because people stores it. It is not a problem to be talked about. Also, we can see that technology is advancing every minute, so we can came to a point that we can still stored a lot more. Population is a big issue to some and we should more see the problems attached to it than complaining how small it is.

[Sidiq SP]

this is a thorough data in this world, but not for my country indonesia, in my country the population is very big, even because the density of population so to look for land of work only very difficult get, in can be very little and difficult to get it, so the assumption that will get a lot of money it is something very sulut in my country, hopefully this problem is resolved

I used to think this world has a lot of people. We have only 7.6 billions on planet earth.
But we have a lot of money, 72,000 billions worth of money, we have a lot of data, petabyte is 1,000,000 billions byte? I don’t know what happened to my brain, I just can’t get excited over the number 7.6 billions, I think it is too small. And what is more terrifying is we are not getting more human in the next xx years, we are going to get a lot more money and more data in the next xx years. I don’t think it look healthy at all, what is the purpose of high growth when our population isn’t growing high?

Are you joking? The magnitude of the number is not the "big" thing here. It's the problem around this number of people causing the threats.
There are millions of people aren't fed every year, millions of children dont have enough water to drink, this is all because of the tremendous number of people around the world. Food supply and accommodation here. I think.

it is quite true that when an imbalance between human populations on employment lands there will be social inequality, and this is not good in a country when social inequality occurs, and we know that the number of Indonesians is 266,456,180 in 2017 and its growth rate is 1, 10% but the level of prosperity of a region can not be measured from the population of people, there are still many who have not felt the joy of happiness and I am this overall percentage is not an individual,

More wealth does not mean all those 7.6 billion people has contribution in it. Most 3rd world country is suffering from poverty because of over population and that is a fact.

[4x4et]

Nope, this planet is already overpopulated, and its expected to reach 11 bil till 2100. Thats why there are so many wars currently, the hidden agenda is depopulation.

The world population is rising at a rate of 100 million per year and the wars are not even eliminating 1% of this number. So you can't really say that it is some hidden agenda to reduce the world population.

[fernandoaleixo]

The peak will be 9 billion, then hopefully it will decrease, it's a hell lot of people and it only makes life hard for everyone, the only environment where 9 billion people alive is healthy is a utopia where everyone's life is perfect, the world is already too small for me.

[Broly46]

The number of population does not directly relate to the amount of welath created.
You are forgetting about the resources needed to creat actual wealth.
Resources are limited and some soin will be depleted on earth.
What then?

In fact I think we should redistribute wealth to the poorer countries in the long run, so they can get up to speed with the western countries. This will result in less wars, less poverty, more wealth for everyone.

To make this happen though, we have to change the way we think. Egoism and greed habe to be replaced by solidarity and the will to make everyones lives better.
You should read marx!

He foretold the current situations. capitalism will destroy itself and a real communism will replace it. Not the way we had in he ussr or china. But more like in startrek. Gene roddenberry had a very clear and concrete vision on how such a world would look like!

If I had to sort through population by a country, by age gap, etc, it will be more disturbing, poor country usually had higher population while wealthy country has lower population, and the population gap is huge between them, I dunno how it would happen since they are so poor to feed a family but they somehow survive. Capitalism also usually come from wealthier country, the purpose of capitalism is believed to distribute wealth fairly, but I don’t know what is happening since the capitalism was found until it is today, everything didn’t turn out to be what we expected to be, we expect flying car by now, higher standard of living where we should never need to work again today, it is not happening, instead it turn out we gotta work more harder than ever, it become working poor, and long hours of working, i don’t know who promise the capitalism would work, to improve life, but I don’t see how it work today, everyone would just use capitalism to benefit themselves now, we are not working to become flying car nation, we are working to become the ultimate poor, also aging nation, I don’t know if aging nation isn’t serious enough because I don’t seem anyone care about it. What will be different if communism would to replace capitalism, I think it would just be another self-enriching governing used by the self centric corporation.

Your OP would be funny if you didn't mean it seriously. Your vision of things seems a bit distorted IMHO. And as it regards money, I don't know how I should explain you that that money does not really exist, that's just numbers in computers which people believe, and that if you add also the bubble of the derivatives you'd have even much more money in the system. But all that is all very virtual, while humans are quite real on the contrary.

I don’t know if it was we never take it seriously. We looked at the number we think it is okey, we think the population is fair enough, we don’t have any problem today, we live a complete life, very fulfilling life, we enjoy every second of our life has to offer. Ok enough of the dream, come to reality, deep inside us, we know everything is not okey, we keep hearing people telling us we have too high population we should reduce it. We shouldn’t use flying car b cause it is blah, we shouldn’t make money because it is evil, we shouldn’t have kids because it is expensive, we shouldn’t retired because we can’t afford it, we can’t afford house, we blah blah. I don’t know if it sound completely normal but we are working for what? Back to 30 years ago, we are doing fine, and we aim to be better, we want higher growth, in everything, higher living standard, higher population, higher wage, higher survival rate, higher interaction among human, higher economies, everything higher, we even expect to go to moon, it is not happening, everything just turn ugly, everything is become worse, we don’t want growth now, we want to de-growth now.

With all due respect sir, i pretty much believe that we populate the planet way more faster than the past 50 years. The worst case scenario of this uncontrolled and rampant rise of population is the over-exhaustion of our own natural resources with the overused of fossil fuels that would someday kill our atmosphere, global warming/climate change. Not to mention all kinds of Pollution cause by us.
If i were you, i would worry about how to save the planet or even how to find another planet like ours in the cosmos, possibility of interstellar travel.

[Broly46]

It may be a small amount of number when comparing to other things but if you think of it, a lot of specialists are saying that our world is overpopulated and it is just starting.

Datas will be always way more than the population since we are also safe keeping the datas of the past. And our work datas and personal and public datas will always be included in that occupying more data. Don't compare data with population since there is a lot of multiple data in one person meaning most of that datas are the same.

Why can’t compare with data?
We losing data all the time too.
We loss a lot of data due to hardware failure, fire damage, software bug, virus, aging and unsupported data, vhs, video tape, floppy disk, books, vintage software, vintage hardware, vinyls disk etc, all are valuable data, they are not duplicated data, we create new data also we loss data, overall we create more data than losing them.

[Tripterium]

This is a very subjective thing. The world is not overly populated, it is just that we are all gathering in cities in small pieces of land. Also ownership of land is not distributed equally, so a few people have a lot of land, slightly more people have adequate land but the majority of people are living on land that they have to rent etc. Yes, the world population is small.

[Hairpin]

We are in fact, overpopulated. This accounts for most of our environmental issues such as global warming and shortage of resources. The survival of Earth, our home, is at stake.

[ficihch]

If we can compare between the total population and earth land large is not comparable. The total population is around 8 billion people in the world. While the earth land large much bigger from the total population. The earth land large is around 36,8 billion acres. Moreover  the sea water large is much wider around 89,2 billion acres. It means that the world population is very small.

We have a lot of money, a lot of data etc. It's true.
But, firstly, material resources are distributed very unevenly. And the abyss between the rich and the poor only increases.
In addition, money is a consequence of peoples' existence. People are animals, part of nature. And natural resources can disappear becourse of humans. I think this is the main point in problem of overpopulation. Sorry, maybe I did not quite understand your idea.

[GG_Maker]

The world population is way too high! Our earth once was a beautiful place until we started to pollute it. We are creatures that use up a lot of resources and space. Our oil supply is already running low and with our population constantly increasing every natural resource will be used up.
We also are killing animals, more people need more space so we just destroy the homes of others. We definitely should control our population and keep it at the same level.

[christopher_baxu]

I'm not sure if I understand your thinking 100%, but I agree that the world population is not that big. It certainly has grown exponentially in the past couple centuries thanks to modern medicine, but it's still not that much. I've traveled around the world by land through over 30 countries and everywhere I went I was so amazed that there are really not that many people. There is so much land everywhere with no people, even in China and the United States. I found this really interested article that showed that at the population density of NYC, everybody in the world could fit in the state of Texas! (https://www.treehugger.com/sustainable-product-design/at-nycs-density-the-worlds-population-could-live-in-texas.html) Of course, we have to think a lot about waste and resources, but we can do a lot better than we are. Whenever you hear about scarcity of any resource, remember that capitalism doesn't function without the idea of scarcity.
