In demographics, the term world population is often used to refer to the total number of humans currently living, and was estimated to have exceeded 8 billion as of 15 November 2022, which of course is tomorrow.

I suspect we have no idea of the total population of the planet. I am not even certain that the medical hegemony knows for sure.

The US Census is admittedly skewed for political, redistricting reasons. Discrete populations are all eligible for one or another *benefit*, so the higher the number, the higher the appropriation.

IDK anything about census-taking in other countries, but factoring in the lockstep behavior we have witnessed, I have no trust any country counts accurately.

This is a soft-kill operation. Countless individuals will not be conceived or born and we won’t even know a rate of decline for another several years.

I suspect there is a lot of validity to your statement that the number of humans on this planet is probably not known, or perhaps even close to the numbers bantered around. They can't even tell the number of illegals in this country. In fact, they are still using a number that was stated 20 years ago. 😋

Have to admit that I really hadn't thought along that line of reasoning. Thanks for sharing. I would think by now I would know to question their stated numbers. Especially since they are wrong on just about everything else when they communicate their wisdom upon the unwashed masses. I must be getting old & senile. 😋
