The Biological You

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Sex Ed and, importantly, the emancipation of female sexuality are the keys, and often go hand in with both better education and ultimately lower birth rates.

I haven't got the figures to hand but it's no mystery why populations in Europe and other developed nations are broadly in decline whilst those in LEDCs are trending upwards. Female emancipationnisnfar, far further down the road here, and almost non-existent in those parts of the world.

I don't think it's easy as saying 'don't have kids', though. But he's right, it's simple economics that the more mouths you have to feed means scare resources become even scarcer. I'm not here to judge people for having what some might say is 'too many"' children (I personally dont care for them and don't want them) but it's certainly not inhuman to put 2 and 2 together and at least consider that too many people might be a contributing cause to ecological and environmental issues. I've always been skeptical of the whole agent smith 'humans are a virus' thing. We are 'of' the earth, of the universe. Our nature may be flawed but I'm not so misanthropic that I dislike other human beings.
