Overpopulation: the big lie

[Truck Fump / h1b]

Well, Europe, South Korea, Japan, etc. were able to reduce the number of children they had without totalitarianism. When parents know their children will grow up healthy, and when parents know that they will have to pay a lot to support those children, they have less children.

We know you love eugenics and mass death.

You're Locked in a hate spiral.

Well, someone is locked in a hate spiral. I do not consider supporting people who want to have fewer children to be a hate spiral.

Or another way to say it is you vilify human existence.

I want to invest as much as possible into every human... How is that vilifying human existence?

You think a human existing below a certain standard of living is literally better off dead. A social Darwinian Nazi meme.

Austerity.

Things over people. The evil of excessive materialism unbounded by morals and spiritual insights.

Oh, wow. You were in a union. LOL

You're still clueless about me, dumbass.

You are clueless about yourself.

One resource that having lots of children does use up is education.

Education is not a limited resource.

Having fewer children allows parents and society to invest greater amounts of resources in the children they have. This creates a richer, more educated society.

Your 'education' is not education.

It is no accident that China really started growing a generation after their One Child Policy.

Four term fallacy.

Well started economically growing, it has led to a shrinking population(or more accurately, an about to be shrinking in a few years.

The population of China is not shrinking. The population of the States is not shrinking.

You don't get to decide how many children parents can have.

You are advocating population controls. That is vilifying human existence.

I do not believe that, nor did I say that. I have no idea why you would say that.

Stop lying.

Education is not a limited resource.

It is a very expensive resource.

The population of China is not shrinking.

China has reversed their One Child Policy, because within a few years, its population will be shrinking.

 

[Walt]

You don't get to decide how many children parents can have.

The governments of Europe, South Korea, Japan, etc. do not decide how many children parents have. But, they do allow a level of development that discourages large families.

 

[Walt]

You are advocating population controls. That is vilifying human existence.

I do not advocate population control. I advocate availability of birth control.

It is a very expensive resource.

It doesn't have to cost a thing. Anyone can learn, if only they have the will to do so. You obviously don't.

Paradox. Now you are just being irrational. You can't argue both sides of a paradox.

Teaching children is expensive. Teaching adults can be more expensive. Searching Google might be cheap, but making Google is expensive.

Google is not education. It isn't God either.
