even more thoughts
the un predicts 9 billion people by the end of the century and declining numbers after that. sounds like good news. and it is if you think we're still at the point where we have resources left. but the end to population growth isn't because of rational moral ethical family planning. it's because of an increased death rate. the un doesn't actually say that. they say something more palatable like due to limited resources. but sheehs. you can paint a shit bomb bright happy colors. but it's still a shit bomb.
