The idea that our population is too high isn't scientific

2020-01-08 08:59:59 UTC  

it's your opinion

2020-01-08 09:00:10 UTC  

don't act like its more legitimate than it is

2020-01-08 09:00:21 UTC  

this is why environmentalists - i.e. proper scientists, not greta thunberg types, have been screaming about habitat loss and devestating species diversity loss for the last 20 years

2020-01-08 09:00:48 UTC  

I mean if you want no habitat loss at all then why not just round up all humans and kill em all

2020-01-08 09:01:06 UTC  

Because human civilisation does not mesh well with the survival of other animals

2020-01-08 09:01:12 UTC  

you're better than that, kunarian

2020-01-08 09:01:17 UTC  

You're better than that

2020-01-08 09:01:25 UTC  

Humans are more important than random animals

2020-01-08 09:01:26 UTC  

i'm telling you what the science says

2020-01-08 09:01:30 UTC  

they're not

2020-01-08 09:01:32 UTC  

They are

2020-01-08 09:01:39 UTC  

"random animals" are essential to our surivival

2020-01-08 09:01:49 UTC  

they're what make nature cycles work

2020-01-08 09:01:52 UTC  

And we can work out how to survive like we always have

2020-01-08 09:02:00 UTC  

yes, by limiting our population

2020-01-08 09:02:02 UTC  

No

2020-01-08 09:02:13 UTC  

We've never needed to limit population to survive

2020-01-08 09:02:23 UTC  

that's because limiting population was never the pressure before

2020-01-08 09:02:31 UTC  

It's always been a pressure

2020-01-08 09:02:34 UTC  

no

2020-01-08 09:02:37 UTC  

What are you talking about?

2020-01-08 09:02:44 UTC  

the pressure previously was having enough numbers to survive

2020-01-08 09:02:49 UTC  

go check your population graphs

2020-01-08 09:02:50 UTC  

No.

2020-01-08 09:03:02 UTC  

Population in the past wasn't easier to manage.

2020-01-08 09:03:10 UTC  

It caused massive problems.

2020-01-08 09:03:12 UTC  

it was self-managing

2020-01-08 09:03:17 UTC  

No it really wasn't.

2020-01-08 09:03:37 UTC  

Why do you think people used to starve more and plagues happened?

2020-01-08 09:03:48 UTC  

Not self managing at all.

2020-01-08 09:04:06 UTC  

population wasn't kept low by starvation and plague

2020-01-08 09:04:16 UTC  

Who said that?

2020-01-08 09:04:21 UTC  

you just implied it

2020-01-08 09:04:25 UTC  

No

2020-01-08 09:04:35 UTC  

population was kept low by very high death rates across the board

2020-01-08 09:04:36 UTC  

Population was low because infant mortality was through the roof

2020-01-08 09:04:40 UTC  

yes

2020-01-08 09:04:40 UTC  

I just pointed out that population in the past didn't mean happy easy lives

2020-01-08 09:05:01 UTC  

Where as you seem to think that limiting the population will somehow equal that

2020-01-08 09:05:27 UTC  

The idea that we need to limit human population for us to survive or for us to prosper is maddening. And deserves to be disregarded to the pile of authoritarian ideas post haste.
