>Smaller populations yield a more creative population.

I think you are confusing how well governed and administered are the states of countries like Sweeden or Finland with their capacity to develop and research.

For an empiric fact, just see how many "great persons" have existed in very populated countries like France, England, Germany, Russia... not to mention all those forgotten thinkers of Indian and Chinese culture.

finally for a racional fact. The bigger the population is (specially if they all share the same language and, to a lesser extent, culture) the more voices can be heared by a bigger population and the bigger the intelectual trade.

If you can have a happy live outside of those hardships then you will take the sexless route.

You have to love how the media frames it as a 'problem', or to use that problem descriptor du jour: 'issue'.
It makes me wonder what their ultimate goal for humanity is if they desire population growth so much: to produce as many humans as possible? To make some peak human population in the future as high as they can?
If their goal were to maintain one or more living human as far into the future as possible, then this is not an 'issue' - it won't lead to extinction.
But if they were asked they could not state a goal. This 'issue' framing stems from people's disbelief that others do not follow their basal reproductive drive so slavishly.
Humanity doesn't have a goal or purpose, let these people do what makes them happy.

It interests me that this article doesn't mention the statistics showing that it's less common to have sex at a young age. Only like 23% of high school girls have had sex, versus 28% less than 10 years ago. 35% uni girls versus 42% or something 10~ years ago. I can't remember if those are the exact numbers, but I find that more interesting, if you're going to write about kids "losing interest in sex", than the low birth rate.
Numbers above aren't accurate, it's been like two-three weeks since I read about it. Was something along the lines anyway.

Or perhaps it was written, and I didn't notice it because I just hurriedly scrolled over the article. In that case, I'm sorry for writing a meaningless post.

If they're going down now, obviously they were too high in the past. Did people complain when the chance of living past adolescence meant that you didn't need to have 10 children to make sure that one or two survived and thus resulted in people having less children than before?

That second point is an interesting one, not only regarding the age of farmers but simply the general urbanisation of areas and movement away from primary industry.
In my state of Australia 4.2 million people in a state of only 5.6 million live in the capital city. I imagine Japan's percentage urbanisation is even greater.
I suppose when there are a lack of farmers that job will be incentivised by government and market forces, but it's interesting that populations gravitate away from rural areas with time.

This meaning was widely adopted early in the history of the United States, including in Noah Webster's dictionary of 1828.

Unless, of course, you mean liberalists when you write left wing, but that's a misconception.

Ok... from what this guy is saying I think I got the confusion this guy is having:

during the begining of the XIX century, people that upholded the individualism, free trade and free market doctrines were called Liberal. That was because they fought the old aristocratic political system and the corporativist (meaning, the guilds) economy.

That obviously was considered leftist at the time.

BUT, DURING THE LAST 2 CENTURIES WE'VE SEEN THAT THOSE IDIOLOGIES ALONE DOESN'T BRING HAPPINESS TO HUMAN SOCIETY.

After the WWII and with most of Europe in ruins the USA had to fight the comunism (as it was understood in USSR) to spread to the rest of Europe and their land so they took a lot of social measures to ensure what we call nowadays the welfare state.

BUT, when the USSR was starting to recede and decay, the president Ronald Reagan and the prime minister Margaret Thatcher took the opportunity to start dismaling the welfare state now that the USSR wasn't a menace.

That doctrine, founded by that pair was what we call NEO-LIBERALISM.

Other "elites" in other countries started to mimic their actions. The dismantling of the welfare state increased after the fall of the USSR. That, jointly with company recolocations have brought us the state of affairs we have today.

Neo-Liberalism is on the extreme right wing.

>>9933971
If they DO want to make money, they don't follow left-wing ideology. If they call themselves leftists, then they are, indeed, hypocrites. Which is why I'm saying they're on the right wing.

Apart from that, I never said they were poor heroes, nor that conservatives were "rich evil men". Far from. However, the people who would benefit from a left-wing government (which is left-wing in action, not in name) are the poor people, because there would be high taxation which would be spent on things such as universal healthcare, autismbux, retirement money and so forth, whereas company-owners would benefit from liberalism (and to some degree conservatism, depending on the form) due to lower taxes. That's simple logic.

I'm not saying the politicians follow the ideologies, but that's how things would be if they actually did.

It's hard to explain the contradictions and hypocrisy without writing a long essay which nobody is probably going to read.

In short, the political structure is grossly warped as each side is manipulated by the rich power structure who switch sides as it benefits them. What also compounds the confusion is the direct hypocrisy of many Liberals. They would go and help starving children in Africa but show no compassion towards the poor in their own countries. But there is much more to it than that.

You can't though. People have tried and every single time they are stomped out of existence. The problem is that the current system and any form of government will always try to expand and grow, but this is exactly what causes the problems in the first place. Societies only work when they are so small that they never have over 100 citizens.

The hippies tried it, people are still trying it today in communes, but they still have to deal with the taxes, the oppression, and all of the bullshit that society hurls at them for attempting to separate themselves and live independently. You don't even have the freedom to sleep if you don't pay the government, cops will smash on your windows and wake you up in the middle of the night if they see you sleeping outside or in your vehicle.

The wild west is a good example of this. Very few people settled out there initially and they formed small, close-knit communities. Things worked pretty well, you didn't have any government interference, the small communities governed themselves, and it was kept on a small enough scale that people weren't so eager to dehumanize and exploit each other. Then all of that Manifest Destiny bullshit comes along, the trains come out, the federal government drags their wealthy claws out west, and before you know it the whole place goes to hell and it's the same disgusting piece of shit that the rest of the country was.

The only way that humans can exist happily and peacefully is in very small and isolated communities, but having any form of government makes that impossible.

These forms of fast transportation that we have developed do nothing but make you see less of the world though. They make the world feel like nothing but a series of tourist destinations marked on a globe, but there's beauty in every part of the world if you slow down and look around you. It's hard to do that when you're flying across the planet in less than a few hours or speeding down a highway so fast that the only thing you see outside your window is motion blur.

>I like having hospitals available to help me not die. I like having restaurants, malls, places where I can purchase things.

As for these things, small communities are perfectly capable of helping sick members. Living in these massive societies that pollute the world makes you more susceptible to illness and then when you do get sick you have to go to an overcrowded hospital to get treated by a doctor who doesn't give a shit about you and only treats you because he's getting paid.

Restaurants, malls, and all that is just capitalist greed though. Make you addicted to these shallow and expensive shiny baubles so you will be too distracted to give a shit about how your life is rotting away as you sit in some cubicle or a factory.

You're not looking closely enough. If you slow down and absorb the beauty that is around you in any of the natural areas of the world that haven't been destroyed then you will see huge amounts of differences when just comparing two different areas of the same forest.

>when you cure your cancer

Many of the causes of cancer can be attributed to things that modern society has developed though. Just driving a car fills the air with filth and that's one of the lesser evils in comparison to the far worse things that we have developed.

This is unfortunately one of the bad things about modern medicine. It feels harsh to say it, but almost every problem that humanity and the other living creatures of earth suffer from is because of modern medicine.

Many of us are supposed to die. This is the way that the natural world works. When the population of an animal grows too large then it must expand to support its population, but when it expands then it destroys the balance of the environment and causes far more harm than it would have if a few members of its species just died off.

In nature these problems fix themselves. For example, in the remote areas where we haven't displaced animals or meddled then the deer don't overpopulate because predators exist to eliminate the deer. We used to be like that too, but we developed too much and now we live in this state of artificially created near invincibility where we have elevated ourselves above the natural processes of nature and we can make even our most sick members of the species survive and go on to consume more resources, pollute more of the planet, and then expand even further and encroach upon what remains of the natural world.

When did I say that I was advocating taking it easy?

I advocate simplification on a massive scale. All of humanity collectively giving up the luxuries of the modern world and going back to our roots. It's not easy at all, it's hard living, but the work feels meaningful.

You're not working in a big gray building anymore, tapping away at some computer in exchange for paper money to buy luxuries that just numb your mind and distract you. Now you're working in the fields, hunting, or working with your hands and crafting simple items that are needed for your community. The work you do now feels meaningful because not only are you working for your own survival, but everything you do directly benefits you and the people that you care about.

Happiness doesn't come from taking it easy, that's a lethargic existence and promotes apathy and depression. Happiness comes from doing hard but meaningful work with your hands. Work that has meaning to you because you know you need to do this if you want to survive and work that exercises your body rather than the largely sedentary work of the modern world.

Humans are animals and just like animals our happiness comes from very simple things. If you overfeed a dog and just let him sit around all day then he's not going to be happy, he will become depressed and lethargic. He is happiest when he's moving his body and exercising. Humans are as well and this is why forms of work like primitive hunting is very fulfilling and fun for us, but desk work isn't.

Depression is most prevalent in first world countries and people in first world countries are consistently less happy than people who live far simpler lives in countries that have no where near the amount of luxuries that they do.

Then go and live there, and get happily killed by some mob because you're accused of a crime you didn't commit or some shit. Many people there also die from hunger or sickness.

You've just described the antithesis of cultural and technological progress.

People having time to whine about their lives is just a side effect of the population being so streamlined. People don't whine about their lives in 3rd world countries because their situation isn't conducive to the effect. Beyond that, many people in weaker countries simply don't have the means to seek medical attention or broadcast their own "suffering".

Well, that's not quite true either. Humans are masterfully adaptable, and happiness is always relative.

People can get utter satisfaction out of farming their own crops for a living, while other people would look at that and think "what tripe, why don't they get a real job like I have?", while this very same person idealizes a job superior to their own, and the person who holds that superior job often thinks "I wonder if I'd be happier if I was doing manual labor".

It's all just variations of "the grass is greener on the other side."

The western world is designed in a lot of ways to stop the individual being happy.

An individual who is happy with what they have will not improve their situation - they will not buy a more expensive car, a bigger house, more fashionable clothes; they do not contribute as strongly to the economy as a consumerist who constantly "needs" something better than they already have.

It is not in the interest of the western world to be "happy".
