      Ok, I have a serious question on Overpopulation bugging me out. After this video and reading other sources, studies, books ("Empty Planet", Darrell bricker) I am astonished on how Wikipedia treats the subject, leaving no space to the hypothesis it could be just alarmist myth.
      Now, normally I trust Wikipedia and when I see a huge discrepancy between a theory and what's stated on Wikipedia I see at least a warning light something's possibly wrong.
      I know wikipedia is not the bible (pun non intended), but do you have any idea on why this discrepancy?

    • @ExatedWarrior
      @ExatedWarrior 7 років тому +34

      Statistics prove stereotypes only if you don't know how statistics actually work.
      For example just by showing the chart at 5:38 I would've been able to predict the conclusion main of this video. The chart clearly shows that over population will steady out yet most people won't know to look for slope as well as concavity.

This week, I saw a video of the flood-evacuation shelters they built. People didn't use them initially either because they didn't get the warnings or they didn't have separate male & female bathrooms.

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Population_curve.svg . Overpopulation is *not* a myth, it is already here, even if the hopeful conjecture that the growth will stop turns out to be correct. (An aside: how annoying that the video presents the conjecture as fact. Kurzgesagt is usually better than this.) But even it it turns out to be true, we are already more people than the world can sustain, to say otherwise is crazy: we're even causing the *climate of the entire world* to change because of it, and causing mass extinction of thousands of species. Most of the most pressing problems of the world can essentially be boiled down to: too many people using too many resources.

      "Hopeful" it might be, but totally misleading. Humanity needs another human mouth like it needs a hole in the head. Despite all the murder and mayhem, the population of Afghanistan has increased from less than 4 million 40 years ago to more than 40 million today. The result is vast numbers of them bursting out of the country, many of them with the idea of squatting on us in Britain. Britain is already grossly over-populated yet we are faced with an invasion of illegal Mohammedan criminals, over 40,000 have come across the Channel so far this year (November 2022), it may top 50,000 by the end of the year. We have an impotent government that growls and spits about it yet puts them up in 4 star hotels when they arrive instead of dumping them straight back into France where they have come from. If the French people are stupid enough to let them into France, that is their problem. At the moment Macron laughs at us with every one that makes it to Britain. The population of Nigeria in 1977 was 67 million. It is now about 215 million and increasing at the rate of 4 million per year. Far too many of them see Europe as their answer. There are attempt at a mass invasions armed with ladders sticks and rocks into Melilla, the Spanish enclave on the Moroccan coast. On 24th June 2021, there was yet another invasion attempt with sections of the border fence vandalised. Official figures suggest that 24 were killed by Moroccan border guards. 2 border guards were killed. The real death toll was probably in excess of 100. The Moroccans don't want them in Morocco either.
      The answer is birth-rate reduction measures in the breeding hives across the World and sanctions against governments inspired by Mussolini and Hitler running breeding programmes to provide soldiers for their armies.
      In the last 60 years giraffes have been wiped out in 6 and possibly 7 countries of Africa. Why ? Because increasing human populations in those countries have killed them for meat. The idiots on this video have cited Bangladesh and Iran as countries where birth rate has dropped. In the case of Bangladesh this is true but births are still above 2 children per woman and with the average age of death so low in Bangladesh, they will be hoping that people will stop dying so early. This is why China has run a one child policy (actually about a 1.3 child policy) for the last 50 years.. If births drop to replacement level (2 children per woman) the population will continue to grow as people stop dying. Wise heads in China realised that a 2 child policy would work provided you are prepared to accept mass starvation. They did not find the prospect of mass starvation to be acceptable, hence the 1.3 child policy. Despite the 1.3 child policy, the human population of China has continued to grow a little bit every year. In the last few years, that growth is coming to an end. As the policy began to bite, they have made a number of small relaxations. In 2015 they made another relaxation announcing that where a couple were themselves single children, they could have 3 children. Very few have taken advantage of this offer, many Chinese women having become self-regarding and wish to maintain the swimming pool tummy. The relaxation is possible because Chinese people, living into their 80s, 90s and many living over 100, have now begun to conk out. Unfortunately, many Chinese men are addicted to tobacco but the average age of death for Chinese women is dramatically better than in the USA, so many American women getting fatter and fatter until, as great big blobs, they burst leaving piles of stinking, putrefying fat on the pavement. The assertion concerning Iran is complete rubbish. Large numbers of children are the norm.
      We can reduce the birth rate taking enforcement action against individuals and regimes that refuse to comply OR we can have a Worldwide deadly epidemic or a nuclear war. I prefer the birth rate reduction answer myself. How about you ?

      @The Noobest Girl It shouldn't be. Overpopulation is still the #1 driving force behind climate change. According to the EPA, In the U.S. roughly 75% of all CO2 emissions are generated by transportation, energy, and industry demands. Although most people enjoy living in a nice house, with electricity, shopping on Amazon for clothes and tech gadgets, such a lifestyle is detrimental to our environment and a strain on our finite resources. Even with the emergence of green technology our energy demands must be drastically reduced. The truth is modern civilization is unsustainable. The way I see it there are 2 paths our species will choose: Either governments will be given more power to regulate markets and stifle climate change at the expense of our natural liberty, so that the many (7 billion or so) across the globe can live in moderation (that is if governments of all countries can agree and follow through with such a plan), or we will undergo some sort of depopulation via vaccination, war, or totalitarian rule in which few (500 million, maybe less) can live moderately lavish lifestyles to ensure sustainability.

      I have a question for you: What constitutes a reasonable amount of daily consumption and energy usage per individual? If you think that the average American uses a reasonable amount - to drive to work, energy for their home, to put food on the table, relax with entertainment - then you see the problem isn't with consumption, it's with overpopulation. Too many people trying to live a decent life given modern technological advancements is driving climate change. Do you see what I mean?
      And if you can't determine a reasonable figure for daily consumption and energy usage per individual, should such a number be determined by a government entity, to enforce restrictions on individuals limiting what they can and can't do? This is a very complex issue that can't be responded with "that is a load of bullshit".

      Step 2: encourage the people who are causing the decreasing of population to change their life style to hetero sexual, having sex on a way they will grow

    As a colombian (arguably, an underdeveloped country) i can say this for sure makes a lot of sense. My grandmother for example, had 12 kids!! and that was just normal back then, my father had 5 kids and i am only planning on having 2 kids, maybe one will be adopted. This is why education on these issues are SO IMPORTANT and only now i'm seeing why.

    • @Jacobstx
      @Jacobstx 5 років тому +15

      My great-grandmother's parents were terrified of having her. Not because 13 kids was a huge number, but because 13 is unlucky. They got around that by her being one of two twins, so they didn't have 13 kids for long. They had 16 children before they were done.
      Great-grandma went on to have eight children, grandma had four, and mom had three, of which only me and my littlebrother survived to today. (fuck brain cancer)

      We will use less of the resources, when the energy is all solar, hydro and wind power. Right now we use too much, but technology is helping us to use less every year.

    It would be pretty cool to see a video on the science of biological needs for physical space per person with relation to mental health and our evolutionary requirements on mental health, green spaces etc. Alongside this an explanation as to how much physical space planet earth has effectively on land. than how much space the biggest animals need or the most demanding animals for space and how much space we need. For humans, both advanced countries or efficiant and poor contries or unefficiant vice versa with production.
    A not so efficiant society typically taking up lots of animal space and clearing land (forests, rivers etc) for production, later after acknowledging when production is caught up, restoration of the land is required and the economy can fund and support parts that were deemed exsessive clearing.
    Explain how a society working through the stages of a revolution today with production requires expansion but how much land it takes roughly for each human living within that land. ABSOLUTELY fascinating
