We’re in a very tough spot. There are more humans alive today than have ever died. We want to keep everyone alive for obvious reasons and that means we’re going through resources fast. All the solutions are not pleasant. We need to choose a path:
1.live a more austere life and cut down on luxuries drastically for everyone. 2. Use the government to limit childbirth
Both are extremely unpleasant, but it’s going to need to happen or else nature will force both options in us and also add massive amounts of death.
