Moreover, it is generally considered a sound principle that successful professionals should be encouraged to have children. Whatever combination of genes, knowledge and resources allowed them to become successful themselves is more likely to lead to a successful next generation. And high income earners are more likely to accept paying taxes to fund good schools and other programs for children if they have their own children to make use of them.
I actually agree that population growth will likely need to be regulated one day, but the wording is unnecessarily inflammatory and it's too far off topic for this thread.
It's like they want to keep the Ponzi going by adding more and more people.
It's quite clear, especially in places like China, India, and Indonesia that runaway population growth is incredibly destructive to the environment.
If government and taxation and retirement systems require more and more population in order to operate successfully it's all coming down at some point.
Yup. And the longer you wait to fix it, the more painful it's going to be.
It also seems like most people are driven purely by instinct, the moment you even suggest they shouldn't breed like rabbits it's regarded as the most offensive thing you could possibly say. It's weird, I don't see how they suggest we keep going. When should we stop ? 10 billion, 15 billion ? Or just wait until society collapses and we go extinct ?
You say that like it's a bad thing. Humanity is a plague, we breed uncontrolled and our population keeps growing and growing. There is no need for anyone to start a family, there is no shortage of humans.
