elon musk, the reigning king of science, just told overpopulation hysterics to go kys and then die some more and fuck off forever. is musk being unfair to the overpopulationfags?

To the ones saying we lack space yeah, but the ones saying we lack resources MAY have a point if we don't manage to develop new ways to use them (we are doing it with nuclear fusion at the moment, so their point is very unstable)

Its not about space. I don't think anybody was EVER arguing it was but people like this will use that as a hurr durr im so smart retort. Despite it being obvious.

It's about resources. Can you fairly ensure that every person on this planet right now can be fed well enough to survive, every day, with the land we have?

Musk is too much of a coward to just come out and say there aren't enough children being born to intelligent people and too many being born to morons. He has to push it as everyone should have more children in order to squeeze out a few more intelligent children, even if it means hundreds of millions more stupid children.

Fed? Yes. We have globally have a massive overabundance of food production. It actually IS space that's the problem, since people don't like other people. If Musk wants to move back to South Africa and live in a tower block with 3000 illiterate aids ridden Africans, he can.

Untrue. Some of the best mathematicians and inventors in history were born to peasant farmers and were only discovered through military conscription and IQ testing.

>> No.15175510

>>15175187
We only have food overabundance because the farming methods are insanely unsustainable. The vast majority of farmland soil is basically ruined and without a constant stream of phosphorous, nitrogen and other fertilizers (sources of which are running out real fast) the yields would plummet to fuck all.

Shit posting is a value to people. So is having a way to communicate to someone across the entire world with a touch of a button in your hand that you can take anywhere in the world. Also having access to the entire repository of human knowledge at the touch of your finger. Also, being able to record moments of your life that you treasure at the touch of your finger. Etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

For fucking $20.
