The places reproducing the most are the lower end of the iq spectrum. Who wants to live in a world where it’s more like “Idiocracy” every passing day? I mean in America, we’re already there. Biden opens the floodgates for low iq rushing into the place.
I bet WW III upsets all their calculations.
As soon as that dumbass moron Pedo Joe has everybody on the planet living in the United States.
It used to be called “carrying capacity.” It was not accurate then, and despite a new name, it is not accurate now. There is only one reason the UN has brought it back now: control. No one knows what the Earth can support in terms of population. This UN crap is nonsense, as is all they do.
“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
Genesis 1:28
He never ever said, “Stop. That’s enough!”
Just before The Great Tribulation.
Or it Bill gates has his way, it already has.
Several alternative models
There will be a new heaven and a new Earth long before 2080.
We’re at our peak right now. If Bill Gates has his way, Billions will die soon.
I think the human population will stop growing within 10 years.
Every year, more and more young people realize that having children is really expensive and really hard work.
And, especially in prosperous countries, more and more young people realize that children do not even notice the sacrifices their parents make.
According to the United Nations...
That ended it for me.
Interesting post and thread. Thanks.
Convincing the crazies that depopulation is needed to survive and a noble quest. who do you think will be on thier chopping block, the jews and then us
The majority of the world’s population lives within 2500 miles of Hanoi.
War, pandemics, extinction events, genocide... at el.
The equation is not possible to solve given the overall dynamics.
According to leftists it happened about 50 years ago.
The most interesting thing about demographics is how they end up locked in for decades moving forward. Radically assumptions are necessary to generate extremes, and even so the divergences take 20-30 years even to start materializing. The primary reason to extrapolate out to 50 years and beyond is because no horizon shorter than this ends up very interesting.
Next to these, the lefties insert “moderate” scenarios that give sublime results from their enlightened policies — fixing climate change, contraception and reproductive rights for all, no borders, a big rock candy mountain within 100 miles of everyone, etc. It then follows that by golly we better get busy on all of this stuff so that we don’t end up egregiously over- or under-populated ... at the end of this century.
The IHME is amazing, fantastic, beautiful by the way, if one can simply tune out the lefty noise. Their data are pretty darn comprehensive, complete, rigorous, ...
What to make of this? Looking out decades, I myself reject the extremes and see a middle ground that is not especially dependent on following one set of policy options or another. Then I focus on the next 10-15 years, as my large crew of children (ages 24 - 33) make key life decisions. The mass retirement and human capital attrition of old folks from high-income workforces in the US, Europe, Japan, Asia, etc. will create a vacuum like no one anywhere is anticipating. My over-educated and highly motivated children will have professional opportunities that astound. I lecture them relentlessly, though, not to put too much weight on their professional opportunities, because there will be even greater rewards (accruing over decades) for them in having large, talented families of their own.
Especially on issues like DEI and affirmative action, the left is gobsmackingly zero-sum over a 10- or 20-year forward-looking horizon. In fact, there will be huge returns from elevating anyone and everyone — even white men — who are talented, work hard and do good work. As us oldsters retire and die off, there will not be enough young adults to pick up the slack. The world’s mentality will have to shift to “all hands on deck,” and I am confident that it will.
If the Earth's population gets much bigger than it is today, Joe Biden and the rest of the war-lovers will be hard-pressed to supply all of the weapons and ammunition required for all of the wars that will follow. Doesn't mean they won't keep trying.
