As for Elon Musk, he’s long stressed the need for humanity to become a multi-planet species, and he envisions SpaceX’s Starship rockets transporting people between Earth and Mars, where a permanent human presence will be established.

“We don’t want to be one of those single planet species, we want to be a multi-planet species,” he said in 2021 after SpaceX sent astronauts into orbit on a reused rocket.

He’s also warned about an “underpopulation crisis” here on Earth. In the summer of 2022, he said the declining birth rates seen in many nations presented “the biggest danger civilization faces by far.”

A few years earlier he had warned, “The biggest problem the world will face in 20 years is population collapse.”

This weekend, he sounded similar warnings while attending a political festival in Italy staged by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

“It’s important to have children and create the new generation,” he told attendees. “As simple as it sounds, if people do not have children there is no new generation.”

“I would love to see, you know, a trillion humans living in the solar system. If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts and a thousand Einsteins…Our solar system would be full of life and intelligence and energy.”

But how many "Hitlers," "Stalins," or "Pol Pots" would we also have?

Same goes (on a different level) for "Bidens."

Regards,

Well this flies in the face of the WEF who has been openly calling for mass depopulation the last couple of decades...

Having more kids is not a bad idea for Americans, but it’s not going to get America or the world more Mozarts.

It’s likely Bezos means he wants open borders. He thinks they’re in other countries and need to come here.

If Musk was right then we would already have quite a few Mozarts today, and we don’t.

As far as declining birth rates are concerned , the question becomes, how do you encourage people to get married and have more children?

I have no answers to that one.

But ultimately you would have to change the behavior of literally tens of millions of people, so that they would put marriage and family as a priority in living their lives.

“”If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts and a thousand Einsteins””

.

Or a thousand Donald Trumps.

That would have the progs of the world marching in the streets, burning flags, burning buildings, cars, pretty much everything and occasionally, each other.

In the meantime the normals will be sitting in prime locations watching for a prog headcase to pop it’s cork and start attacking “the evil white men.”

They will be ESPECIALLY pizzed at the hardware the normals are carrying because they found out the hard way that declaring government rules demanding confiscation is a LOT easier said than done.

And those 1000 annoying Donald Trumps?

Still around, still winning.

Pretty complex problem that most developed countries have.
The largest problem I see is our governments have become so overbearing that nobody wants to have kids due to the cost and the indoctrination they receive from the government. Who wants a child that hates you? or Children that feel that supporting their elders is an abhorrence?
Children that believe that you ruined the environment, the economy, and their futures?
When in fact it is their votes or support for bad governments that caused the problem?

MORE humans is useless, if Western culture is collapsing into decadent narcissism.

His assumption that the number of brilliant people is a percentage of a given population is TOTALLY FLAWED. There is a necessary environment for brilliance to come forth. For example, consider the colonies that produced brilliant political thinkers that led to the USA. Also consider the lack of advancement from the populations of low-IQ nations in Africa and the Middle East.

I was impressed with Bezos. I’m sure I don’t believe in everything he believes but he was rational.

Humans are the real resource. If developed it is humans that equal wealth.

Money is itself no more than a measure of human time. Anything with a cost/price is no more than the aggregate of all human time invested in that product.

Human population is like science and technology. There is no finite limit. It is simply not true that the earth is over populated and there is no fixed maximum population. Heck, humans could over time move to space, moons, other planets, even solar systems as in science fiction. No, that is not impossible.

Those people who advocate to depopulate have an ideological agenda which is normally behind their insane world view, example Bill Gates whose family wealth originally came through his father, a pro-abortion lawyer. Behind these climate change and world population apocalypse agenda’s is an ideology, normally far left, feminist, and globalist. It’s normally nonreligious, anti-family, anti-child, anti-individual, anti-freedom.

Claiming their is a limit to the worlds population, is like claiming there is a limit in processor speed, or maximum memory ever required by a PC: “640K ought to be enough for anybody,” Bill Gates, 1981. Which he now denies.

People that achieve great success, even though it is through cheating, lying and stealing, are surrounded by sucks and often begin to believe themselves that they are some great genius and with unparalleled in and foresight. Reality is that folks like Zuckerberg, Gates, Bezos, Bourla, Soros and MOST others at that level achieved their great success through immoral, unethical, often illegal acts and then want to give the world a TED talk about how awesome they are and dispense advice to the world. While they were great in some moment in seizing an opportunity and then riding this to the top like a Zuckerberg, they are hardly the technical genius nor moral beacon to be followed.

The genius Gates after being caught breaking the law regards Netscape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjm2ZZg6MAQ And then there was stealing from Borland, changing the laws and going after kids so that MS could make disgusting profits on a product that was worth pennies... But these folks often really end up believing they are some super human and then want to give mankind a dose of their philosophy on life.
