it's a non-issue

we're already about 70% the way to 11 billion people, and that's where the global population will start to trend downwards. impoverish nations with high birth rates are getting less poor by the day, as long as we continue to help them their birth rates will slow just as the ones in europe/north america have.

this could change if we have a large near-extinction event driving the infant mortality rate back up, but in that case overpopulation wouldn't be a concern either.

we already know how to farm enough food
we already know how to house enough people
we already know how to generate necessary utilities

the problem is that the wealthy just don't want to stop hoarding the value of other people's labor

the more poor people there are, the less likely they will have the ability to hold onto their vast amount of resources

because ultimately, overpopulation isn't an issue when everyone freely shares resources

whenever you see overpopulation used as a scare tactic it's "we don't have enough resources to support life"
we do, it's just that everyone who has more than 10x what they need to survive (average millionaire) won't be able to easily keep their millions if it isn't earned directly through their own labor

doctors, lawyers, even some politicians will likely be able to keep making millions
CEOs, stock traders, landlords likely will not be able to keep their finger in the pie

We are in both a state of severe overpopulation and a state of severe underpopulation. Overpopulation has never been a concern because the people who were reproducing so quickly were intelligent and innovative. This resulted in continual development of science and technology that always fixed the would-be problem. This is why Malthus wasn't just wrong, but was predestined to always be wrong. However our modern problems are not the same as those older problems. Nowadays the intelligent people who were responsible for advancement are having very few children. In a vacuum this would just be a major inconvenience. Things would slow for a few generations until culture changed and those people started having children again. In reality, however, they are not the only group. There is a very large group of people, much larger than the aforementioned, that are unintelligent and non-innovative. These people would undergo population collapse in a similar way to how animals do as they do not posses the means to solve their problems. Even this would not be enough to be a catastrophe on its own. The main problem comes when the two groups mix and intermingle. The innovation of the intelligent group will not be enough to keep up with the growth of the unintelligent group. The unintelligent group will become a larger and larger portion of the population while the intelligent group becomes a smaller and smaller portion. This will make the overall intelligence plummet, farther reducing the rate of innovation. The only solutions are to strictly limit the growth of the unintelligent group or reverse the decline of the intelligent group and make them have massive growth.

overpopulation isn't even a problem honestly, the problem is that most of the wealth and resources get hoarded by a minuscule % of the human race.

If we had correct resource allocation and management, we could have 15 billion people and it would still wouldn't be an issue. The problem is that we have Jeff Bezos having the net worth of a small latin american nation while people are starving in fucking Rwanda or some shithole like it.

Problem is also that nobody fucking cares and have been wired for the past 70 years to think against their best self interest and to be averse to anything collective. Just look at Americans and how they think having accessible Healthcare for everyone seems like something taken out of the pits of hell.

Overpopulation is only a problem in India, China, and parts of Africa.

Stop sending aid to African countries. Survival of the fittest will kick in and the surplus will die off. The only reason so many are there is because we keep sending them fucking free food. It sounds cold but many of those children only exist because of rich foreigner guilt fueling all the fucking with free food in the first place.
China has a surplus of men that will eventually die without breeding and something like 35% of their population is 45 or older meaning they're either exiting their breeding years or have long since left them behind and now they'll just die.
India has an even larger male surplus and many of them will die alone and childless as well.

Yeah, I bet that once poorer countries start becoming more industrialized,the birth rates in general are gonna drop hard.

I read on a report a couple of months ago that said that by 2030, Mexico was going to switch to a Middle Aged country instead of being a Young Aged country, and it was mainly due to economic prosperity and less pressure to have children because people focus more on their careers and first and so on.

One of two things is going to happen with Africa over the next 50 years.
a) West, facing economic strain, finally cuts off the unlimited aid tap. Hundreds of millions die.
b) West continues to increase aid and African population balloons to 3-3.5 billion until supporting them is no longer sustainable and the entire thing implodes. Billions die and the resulting migrant violence and economic fallout devastates the West.

Overpopulation and globalisation inevitably ends in collapse. It is seen time and again through history, most notably the Bronze Age collapse and the Roman Empire. There is a very good book on this: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/globalisation-and-the-roman-world/6D61EDA1C460E99FF118D26098A38DF4

One can argue about globalizing phenomena and population collapse in the late Neolithic around the 8.2k cal BP. event. It has been argued that the Neanderthal culture boomed and collapsed.

Throughout history relative overpopulation has always resulted in some form of societal collapse, but not wholesale societal destruction.

This is not some /pol/-tier rant against population or globalising phenomena. Globalising behaviours could be an innate part of our species or an innate part of any mammal or even vertebrate when given the opportunity. Overpopulation and population collapses happen naturally in ecosystems as well and things always balance themselves out. Maybe what we are seeing now are truly exclusive modern phenomena, maybe they are processes that are thousands of years old, tens of thousand years old, hundreds of thousands of years old, millions of years old, potentially billions of years old. Look at the Great Oxidation Event for example. How is what we are doing any different from that?

The aim of scientific study of this phenomenon is not action, but gaining an understanding of the dynamics involved.

ALL, and I mean ALL of our perceived civilizational problems boil down to overpopulation.

Climate change? Purely a result of overpopulation.

Any discussion about stopping climate changing without addressing the excessive population (I estimate 5 billion people too many over the natural carrying capacity of the planet), is FRAUDULENT and without meaning.

Intelligence is a spectrum though, and there are a number of additional variables that impact intelligence, such as emotional intelligence (learning empathy, etc.). I wouldn't say it's about "intelligent" vs "unintelligent," because both groups tend to be on the same sides, they just have different viewpoints. The problem is there's so much bullshit out that tries to evoke anger on both sides of the aisle, and it worked for years getting every pissed until COVID came and cut into the fabric of society, leading to further extremism on both sides. Some news corporations (and tons of blogs, podcasts, etc.) thought evoking anger was the key to success. It's not, and this whole saga has proven that destruction (acceleration theory, etc.) isn't needed to bring about real change. That's one benefit of democracies--the ability for peaceful revolutions to occur that can fundamentally and peacefully change the country, and lead to changing the world. Authoritarian governments by their nature (letting fear and worry override all emotions and seeking to control everything) aren't as likely to let a peaceful revolution change the course of the country.

I always wonder why it's taboo to discuss overpopulation among leftists considering the amount of nature that has to be converted into arable land to feed a person. And that's just to feed a person alone, I'm not even going to bother mentioning pollution.

Serious question for any of you who think overpopulation is a thing and that 90% of people have to be eliminated in some way.

Are you actual agronomists? Have you worked with agriculture? Or are you just biologists and similar academics in their ivory towers dictating how the world should function?

I will admit that vertical farming isn't remotely viable yet, but as energy continually becomes cheaper and cheaper it will become feasible. The main problem at that point would be land prices which would have to be fixed by other means, since eliminating artificial inflation isn't exactly in the realm of energy or agriculture.

Because as soon as you grapple with the subject of overpopulation, you run into (((them))) and their business interests, which require free market capitalism and the assumption of unlimited resources and unlimited expansion of consumption.

And that's why the current moaning by the science community about carbon capture schemes and carbon credits, are nothing but a sick joke that deflects the real responsibility for climate change, which is the fact there are nearly 8 billion squatters on this planet, most of them redundant to the needs of society besides their value to the market as consumers.

Any debate about climate action with addressing overpopulation is necessarily a fraudulent, vacuous discussion.

I've thought about this and reached similar conclusions. Option B is a blackpill and seems to be more and more likely, considering Europe's insistence on importing millions of Africans and the nurturing of them into a professional 5th column just as America has.
As >>14717679 points out, populations ballooning and collapsing aren't a new occurrence, and there was upheaval but society wasn't destroyed. Hell this process even set the stage for the European Renaissance. But regardless I feel as though the modern circumstances are radically unprecedented. Never before has the global share of Europeans been so low for instance, and the global share of Africans so high. There is a widespread belief even among native populations in Europe that Europeans are obliged to take in refugees from these places (they aren't), while the fact that most African countries are essentially freeloaders in the modern economic system is not just widely unknown, but vilified as a racist/evil "belief."
Grim I suppose, but has there been worse circumstances? Maybe, I'm not smart enough to say. Ultimately there's nothing I can do. Might as well try to live a full and wholesome life, and live with the assurance that everything will end up okay, just as it ultimately did after innumerable catastrophes throughout history.

Humans are no different than amoeba or cancer cells or just about any other living thing
That is to say they grow and multiply and consume without discretion until they cannot grow anymore
And what happens in such a case? The population eventually suffocates itself maybe they all just go extinct or maybe a small amount survives so they can do it all again
It's safe to say this has all been well proven at this point
We can see it easily at a small scale and now maybe we're getting to the point where we can start seeing it at a big one too
At every point in history where humans made some massive advancement to allow for a larger population they grew at an alarming rate to fill that new gap no different than a mindless little bacterium floating around in some jar
I guess it seems different when you are the bacterium and hey at least you got a nice big jar

You said it best yourself, the resources are non-renewable. So, under that, what does it matter? A billion people living for a thousand years or ten billion people living for a hundred years. It doesn't make a difference. They'll both run out of resources. At first glance they'll both even have the same overall total lifetime. We can create better ways of recycling, reusing, and repurposing what we already have, thus reducing our effective need for consumption. But that only extends the time we can last on the resources we have. Just by virtue of existing we will need to consume resources in an imperfect way that means we won't be able to last forever. This requires us to find new resources to consume. The only difference is in the when. The growing population must do it sooner. But they also have a larger population. More ability to invent and create and to discover those new ways of exploiting the resources around them.
This is all independent of intelligence as well. There's no reason to believe that having a smaller population would naturally result in a smarter population. They would both have the same portions of intelligent to unintelligent. Either they are intelligent enough to find those better ways of extracting resources and they are able to continue to grow or continue to simply exist respectively, or they don't and they both go extinct when their resources run out.

So the only solution is acceleration. Accelerate the collapse. But make sure that survival cells are well protected and guided.

The problem is both local and global. Things like notions of equality, democracy, civil rights make it impossible to carry out the necessary measures. Retards make up the significant majority of the population. Perhaps as much as 95%. Then there are those who are not completely retarded who would fight to protect the retards. Finally there are those not completely retarded but who benefit from the current situation, they are happy to exploit the retards for their own advantage. That's just the local problem. Globally you are then faced with the fact that the vast majority of the population is contained within countries like China, India, Nigeria, etc. Even if we could enforce retard elimination in western countries there would remain all the retards in the rest of the world. In fact it would be counter productive to only eliminate western retards while other retards exist, since they would merely fill the gap.

No. You need a complete breakdown of the existing world systems of law and order. You need complete anarchy. You need to complete dissolution of national borders, national armies, and all levels of government. Then in addition to that you need cells of ecomilitants scattered across the world in areas of strategic importance. Deeply embedded, highly protected, ideologically pure, and extremely well prepared. They must be prepared to ride out the new dark age and then seize absolute power when, and only when, total victory is assured. Then they exterminate everyone who does not share their ideology, the Earth recovers, and they all live happily ever after in perfect environmental harmony.

If war breaks out in China and the west stops getting cheap shit from the east, everything will get extremely expensive over night and the built up wealth of the middle class rapidly declines as a result. When the population of the western countries aren't doing so good, they won't be in willing to share what they have left. So it's only a matter of time until the current system collapses and the sentiment changes from abundance mindset to scarcity mindset. When people can no longer afford what they were used to buy regularilly for the past 10 years, they won't sit idly by as the government throws their tax dollars at foreign aid.

You are completely ignoring the fact that selection pressure exists. The sorts of people who aren't reproducing in the modern environment are being weeded out of the gene pool, and we are undergoing strong selection pressure for "breeders" with a strong instinctive drive to reproduce as much as possible. Religious fundamentalists with high fertility rates like the Amish will also grow exponentially.

Nta, I understand it, but its not expressed very well. But its not really a point worth arguing if you cant grasp the geopolitical context. Despite the fact that you are likely to remain contrarian I will make this one attempt. If not for you then for others who dont have a narrow mind and a poor education. I am not going to simplify it for you, if you cant follow the language then tough.
Democracy and capitalism are intrinsically linked. Every Democracy practices free market Capitalism to a greater rather than lesser extent. Without reference to the wider environmental issues this creates it does result in a temporary economic efficiency far more greater than any other political ideology. In turn this permits non-democratic countries that would never have developed past a basic agrarian society to compete in international markets, harnessing their labor force, and becoming "developing nations". Regardless of their stated political ideology and economic policies these countries become suppliers of consumer products and consumers of natural resources themselves, with a significant proportion of their excess energy production being effectively converted to population growth.
Democracy results in globalization. Without the collateral effects of Democracy on the world economy countries such as China and India would have remained agrarian backwaters. Consequently they would not have either experienced their recent population growth or the impact that growth has had on the local and global environments.
Furthermore globalization, as a direct result of Democratic countrie's economic efficiency, has the effect of either forcing developing countries to adopt free market policies or risk economic stagnation. Case in point being China which stopped being a communist state decades ago except in name.

Free money to end your failed genetic lineage is far preferable to fighting for survival in total societal collapse.

Literally retarded thread.
We are only a few years out from directly genetically modifying humans to express extreme female biased sexual size dimorphism. Women are going to be engineered to be 6'5"+ and thick, with large hips and wombs, and super fecund. This means the release several eggs each cycle so when impregnated they gestate litters. Even just 1 pregnancy will bear 4 children, so the population will exponentially increase at a rate of 4 children per woman even assuming just a single pregnancy per female. Population growth rates are going to explode.
Meanwhile, men are going to be engineered to all be small, like 3'10", but proportional and lean and super athletic, like boys on steroids. In this way they will only require a few hundred calories per day but will be capable of performing all relevant labor. Small males are superior to large ones in modern forms of combat and labor.

With this combination the population will expand at a continuous exponential rate and can never fall below replacement, AND will require less resources to support large population sizes, AND will be greatly advantaged against other populations in economic output and military power.

Efficient recycling and higher density power production (like nuclear) cover the first two. But yes, obviously an urban space is not growing its own food. That is a long ways off of becoming feasible in any meaningful capacity. Still, the land required for feeding that many people is not that much. We still have plenty of capacity for extra food production in the land we have even without taking drastic measures.

You will have to do nothing because to actually do something about overpopulation means stopping feeding the poors. Since that is bad for profits and causes rebellions, you will keep feeding the poors until a major food crises causes first famine, then war.

UN doesn't even predict that we will reach 11B people nowadays. It's now revised to 10.4 max
UN usually revises downwards it's population projections.
>Two-thirds of the projected increase in global population through 2050 will be driven by the momentum of past growth that is embedded in the youthful age structure of the current population.
>Such growth would occur even if childbearing in today's high-fertility countries were to fall immediately to around two births per woman.
meaning
Today there are 1M old, 20M parents and 100M kids., or 121M people.
In 20 years in hypothetical scenario of sudden drop to 2.1 fertility 20M old, 100M parents, 100M kids. Or 220M people. 80% increase without more kids. (obviously this is oversimplification etc.)
>Given that most population increase until 2050 will be driven by the momentum of past growth, further actions by Governments aimed at reducing fertility would do little to slow the pace of growth between now and mid-century, beyond the gradual slowdown indicated by the projections presented here. Nevertheless, the cumulative impact of such changes could contribute to a more substantial reduction of global population growth in the second half of the century.
Meaning we are pretty much set at getting to 9B. The question is will we reach 11B or 10B.

Just shifting the IQ to the right wouldn't have such an effect by itself. It would be squabbling as usual. You would also need to get everyone on the same page. You would need three things. Firstly a society that was smart and which was in general agreement about the need to regulate population levels. Secondly a society that would create the political and economic systems required to implement it. Thirdly a society that was powerful and ruthless enough to either sterilize or exterminate any other people who disagreed with the first point. Because it is utterly pointless limiting your own population if everyone else breeds like rabbits.

It's predicted by extrapolating current trends without accounting for any forces that tend to retard or counteract them.

As the rate of population growth outstrips the construction of dwellings and the increase in agricultural production there won't be enough food or shelter for everyone. Almost by definition it will be the poor who become homeless or starve first and this will control their birth rates, which will control the overall population growth because it's largely the poor driving population growth.

The only problem is redistributive government programs and policies that tend to put the burden of caring for the poor on the middle class. If the living conditions of the poor are kept too good for too long then it's possible that the result will be political or economic crisis instead. In the end the poor would still starve, but they might ruin things for everyone else, too.
