By "our economic system" you mean Social Security and Medicare. Yes, those are built around continuous population growth. That's because they are Ponzi scheme. What you're saying is that we have to increase our population to infinity because we got snookered into a Ponzi scheme. I think we need to find a better solution.Should or should not is irrelevant. I do not think that the thread is about weather or not it should but that our current economic system is built around continuous population growth and that growth is curving down. As you pointed out this seems to only effect some populations though so I think we are running into a societal wall here in the west rather than a resource wall.I'm an atheist, so that kind of "logic" just makes me laugh. It's hard to believe that anyone would seriously argue that the population should increase until it reaches infinity.So your proposal is infinite expansion of the population?Seriously though, why would anyone want kids? ESPECIALLY women?
Millennials don't want kids. Good thing too, since we can't afford them. The rest of society is just gonna have to deal with that.
Ain't gonna be nobody there to take care of your ass when you get old, dipshit.
That's not the way the world was designed to work, not at all.
Did not God say: "Be fruitful, and multiply"? Why yes, I believe he did.
It is also a fundamental reality of life in general, let alone people, that life attempts to expand indefinitely as often as possible. In the past people have hit that equilibrium where limited resources stabilize the death and birth rates until something changes (like advancements in agriculture that relax those constraints).
We will eventually leave this little rock and continue to expand again after we hit that equilibrium as we have in the past when new resources are uncovered.
