Comment on World’s population to fall for first time since the Black Death
originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 7 months agomeh. theres no need for any humans to exist.
i seem to recall that you could fit 8billion people into a single city double the size of texas. you could then feed those humans with an equivalent land mass.
this notion of overpopulation is more about resource use than existent numbers of humans. as you point out, distribution is the real issue and the fact that humans are greedy fuckers.
the planet doesnt care if its hit by a meteor, has its surface wiped by an expanding red dwarf or falls into jupiter. it has no agenda or purpose other than what we, humans decide to do with it. we only get that honor because we are the only ones here.
I’m speaking from the context of human survival. I support the continued existence of the human race. You’re speaking from a more nihilistic standpoint than I prefer, but i do agree with what you said in general.
Though, forcing everyone to live in DoubleTexas sounds like hell on Earth.

Woahhh no need to bring your controversial opinions in here.
I for one would like to here more about DoubleTexas the megatropolis

Do you want Mega-City One? Because that’s how you get Mega-City One.
the point isnt the megacity. its to draw attention to the fact the planet is bigger than we think, and we suck more than we know.
