[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Knowing what we know now about the burden of overpopulation on natural resources, destruction of the environment, and climate change, what is the continued obsession with increasing the birth rate? If anything, we should be strongly, strongly discouraging anyone from ever having children, regardless of race or socioeconomic status. I don't get the hand-wringing about [i]omg we'll have to allow [b]immigrants[/b] to provide essential services in the future if we don't birth our own[/i]. The modern nation-state with strict borders is such a small blip in the history of how humans organized societies. There's no reason to assume that will continue in perpetuity. I bet that in several hundred years, the current world order of self-interested countries striving to consume the most resources would looks just as strange and inefficient to the (hopefully much reduced) population as medieval feudal kingdoms look to us.

Amen. 
When I was born there were about 4 billion of us, now we are almost to 8.
The handwringing over birthdate decline is ridiculous.[/quote]

Thanks, Thomas Malthus. What other crazy, discredited theories from the 18th century do you have? I'm guessing you hate vaccines too. [/quote]
