Optimum Population Trust

If we had a few massive wars every once in a while we wouldn't have this problem. Out of all the posts that hurt any political aspirations I may have the most, this is probably it.

“I’ve never seen a problem that wouldn’t be easier to solve with fewer people, or harder, and ultimately impossible, with more. Population is reaching its optimum and the world cannot hold an infinite number of people,” Sir David, who has two children, said.

Many problems easier to solve with more people...like "let's build this bridge". Quote out of context?

The native population of western countries is evening out/declining. So...we aren't going on as we have been. Improvements in technology increase the number of people the earth can support, and as countries become richer people stop having as many kids.

There's no doomsday scenario here.

Populations rise and fall, its quite a historically ordinary thing. We're at a point right now, that technologically speaking, we can support the numbers we do. Though it may be that only a fraction of that population live as well as most of the people here at the .org do. Eventually, somethings going to happen either biologically or technologically that will reduce the population, whether it be a massive disease, war, famine, or Cataclysm. The other side of the fence is that if technology sustains at the rate that we are producing, the eventuality of people physically leaving earth may also come about, though not in the near future.

These things are best argued with reason, no need to panic. Perhaps, we do need to limit the number of children people have, but the counter argument is whether thats worth sacrificing our moral fiber. Personally, I'd choose extinction.

Yeah I can't see that helping
