Earth’s population was meant to decline. Degrowth of a sort, because 8 billion is too many.
Why have children when their future is guarenteed to be fucked?
We don’t have too many people!
We have too many greedy and sociopathic people. We currently have the tech and knowledge to provide (of course not over night) for every human… While also protecting and restoring the environment. We don’t have a space or resource problem. We have a economic system(s) and morality problem.
Yes, we do have too many. While we could provide for 8 billion, that many humans is destroying our ecosystems.

World population has more than doubled in my lifetime. Society might be able to support 8 billion, the planet cannot.
Por qué no los dos!
Because when western society says too many people, they mean too many POC. I know you mean everyone should be having less children, but it’s impossible to apply that logic equally everywhere. Improve everyone’s standards (through wealth equity) of living and the population will naturally reduce then stabilize.
Thats something i think of daily, and i have 2 kids.
It was a mistake, i am sorry for them, for their future.
