They’ve convinced most people that we’re entering an era of scarcity.

Also, an era where humans are destroying their own environment.

While we definitely should do better, I don’t accept either statement. They’re both PROPAGANDA, designed to break resistance to the idea that there needs to be a great deal fewer of us.

You know what? Even if both statements were true, the LAST people I’d want managing any transition is this bunch of psychopaths.

In relation to fossil fuels, we should use them judiciously. We’re not about to run out. Their extraction costs will rise steadily, but note, the vast majority of the costs we pay are taxes.

In pollution, I disagree. We’ve become much cleaner. The world isn’t faintly overpopulation & in two generations, the dominant problem will be FALLING population.

I worked out that every human alive could comfortably fit in Texas in a plot size that’s not absurdly tiny.

Not suggesting we do this. But once you realise how big the world is, you appreciate its yet more propaganda, intended to induce hopelessness & mute acceptance even when we rumble what they’re up to.

I will continue to back human ingenuity over chaos all day.

Away with your silly lies, “Globalists”. We see you.

I love all of this! I remember clear as day reading a biology textbook in college that someone calculated the earth could easily handle 11 billion people if we managed our resources wisely. That has often come back to me as a comforting calculation when the fear porn gets me down. And I've recently accepted in my soul that I am NOT personally responsible for all the failures happening on our planet and it's the creeps who want to revamp the whole system who are responsible for these failures in the first place. So I'm absolutely with you on not trusting them to manage a transition. They had a chance. They blew it. Next!

100% agree. Initially, I endowed the perpetrators with clarity of thinking & extraordinarily careful planning.

I no longer think this.
