The solution to overpopulation is development and education.

Here are some points from "Its Ok To Be Smart" educational YouTuber, Joe Hanson:

"...The reality for most of history was that many children would die before adulthood. So you better have plenty.
...
But beginning in the 1700s, advances in agriculture and transportation meant fewer people starved.
...
Eventually people caught on that most of their kids are going to survive. And as education and opportunities for women improve, families started having fewer children. And population growth slowed. Eventually when births and death rates remain low, populations level off, and become stable. Or even start shrinking.
...
It took the UK 95 years to halve birth rates. While Brazil did it in 26. And Iran just 10. Today birthrates are falling almost everywhere. The less time a country spends in times of rapid growth, the quicker Earth population stops increasing. It's unlikely the 12 billionth human will ever be born..."

Overpopulation will be a problem. The faster 3rd world countries develop, the less of a problem overpopulation will be.

(Hahaha! Sorry to follow you here, but I've been trying to present data on overpopulation and the well-known solutions all over this site ever since I joined.)

I partly agree with your theory but there are plenty of things making us not stop breeding so much. look at religions against each other. can you imagine jews asking Muslims not to breed so much. people on benefits breed like flies because they know their kids will be paid for and they won't have to work. the rich have more because they can afford it. the very poor have more for the reasons you mentioned @SamKerry. people who have been through tornadoes taking away all there electric have more children. The solution is to have fewer children.

@LeighShelton "The solution is to have fewer children" - agreed. And that's been shown to be the case as countries develop their standard of living and education level.

Do you think that developments to the standard of living and general education can address or minimise the negative effects of differing ideologies, war and catastrophes?

An Chinese delegate was interviewed in our town-hall-format question and answer TV show a few years ago. I don't exactly remember what the question was. But it had something to do with how the Chinese can justify their semi-corporatised semi-dicatator Communist government. The delegate's answer was thought-provoking, for me, at least. He said: "Regardless of what we [the West] thought about their [the Chinese] government, they [the Chinese] have managed to lift millions of their people from poverty to billionaires."

Interesting perspective, no?

I agree with you as you should agree with me. the common denominator is too many humans for many reasons, mainly being by nature fucking without a condom etc.

@LeighShelton when I was in china in the eighties they were limited ot two children and it seems to have worked well for them.

exactly @jacpod thank you

Do you reckon iPhones will have batteries that last a whole day by then?

@Jnei My 100% accurate Nostradamus future vision android app reveals all IPhones will require the user to turn a crank, called iSpins by January 31, 1,002,018. Android Galaxy will actually be the Milky Way by then, and all fetuses will be implanted with cellphone tech 5 minutes after conception. Smoke them, if you have them.

My new favourite answer!

@Jnei Thank you.

Good answer

I know FOR certain that I'll be gone. More than that is speculation. I won't be in a better place, I won't be anywhere but dead.

… And what about the apes?

@PappyOnWings the apes will evolve and acquire the power of speech. And they'll end up being just like us. I saw it in a movie, once?

@farmboy2017 it's depressing, but I do have to agree that they'll end up just like us.

what , the trump family ?
