* note these are passing incomplete thoughts * - perhaps the matter is not if we are overpopulated, but we don't exactly need this many people to be a happy, functioning im not advocating genocide at all, thats fucking evil, but not having as many children, as long as we can help one another, doesn't seem to be a bad idea. there will always be children born, but this many people? is it really functional? is it really worth it? does every square space of the earth need to have swathes of people in it?
i remember an image i saw of India, and the reality of that were unsettling to say the least. i truly feel bad for people looking for upwards mobility in their country. the image was dozens, probably like maybe 100s waiting to be interviewed for 12 job positions. at the end, the employers apparently only decided to hire 5, i think. all those people, no matter how hard they worked, how long they waited in that line, simply did not get up early enough or even waited days before to have a shot at a better life.
