Our current reproduction rates already have us at the brink of collapse.
- Very True
- Not pertinent to the discussion
Comment on Evolutionarily speaking, wouldn't premature ejaculation be considered the desired trait?

You could also have too much offspring. Our current reproduction rates already have us at the brink of collapse. And the rest if the planet with us.

The question was about evolution, how is this not part of that discussion? When we’ve destroyed all natural resources and heated up the atmosphere beyond food production possibilities (including loss of biodiversity), we’re back at the stone age. With matching population numbers. Evolution will take it from there.

No no no no. This a myth. People saying we’re killing the planet. We’re not killing the planet. We’ll never kill the planet. The planet will kill us. All humans will die, and earth will carry on. And some new species will take over. And millions of years from now, they’ll discover our modern day buildings. Deep burried underground.
They’ll mistake them for bones at first, but eventually they’ll figure out that these are primitive structures for housing. Housing that doesn’t fly. Doesn’t teleport. Doesn’t blast off into space. Just stationary buildings. And then they’ll laugh at how stupid humans were.

‘The planet’ was just short for ‘all organisms living on the planet’. The planet itself is not living, so it cannot be killed. But you knew that all along, did you not?

That’s capitalist propoganda. It’s so the working class dies out.

You’re finally going to get communications a day before you burn down the planet blaming everyone but yourself 🤣

When did I mention communism?

So what system is being proposed once you get rid of the capitalist pigs and propaganda? We going back to patronage? Feudalism?

Technology has already given us plenty of ways to sustain a growing (at least until it tapers off on its own at ~10 bil) population without harming the planet too much. It's the filthy rich preventing us from doing so.

Technology was always built on energy sources. Hopefully nuclear fission will perform as anticipated, as current sustainable energy sources will run out sooner or later. I’m not sure how wind turbines and solar power will survive in a lower energy avalibility society. Looks like a Mad Max scenario to me.
