  • Time for some What if pondering

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 12 15:59:14 2023
    What if the "scientific community" concluded that the earth was incapable of sustaining the current human population for the indefinite future?

    What if that population was growing and governments couldn't slow the growth making a collapse of society inevitable?

    What might the powers that be do? Would they tell us that a large segment of the current population must die and the survivors forced to remain childless to preserve civilization?

    Would they do something in the food supply that caused a massive drop in male sperm counts to diminish population growth without telling anyone?

    Would they undertake a major change in energy supply that we were told was to save the planet but was instead assured to cause a massive famine and thus reduce the planet population but not trigger a first world societal collapse?

    Would they trigger a war that disrupted the food supply to the 3rd world?

    Just wondering what really might be....

    And just try do this, don't freak out about lil 'ol me, missing the point entirely.

    What if someone takes Erlich's Malthusian fantasies too seriously?
