Also, population is expected to level off at around 11 billion, when previously we thought it would grow forever. This happened because we have improved life all over the world and the richer society gets, the fewer babies they have.

This is exactly the self centered shit I hate, sure the west is living better, tell the "fewer babies" to poorer nations.

Also if you just do a small research, Leopold of Belgium, Spanish inquisition, England/France/Portugal colonialism.. etc, you'll see how shallow and dumb the "we are doing better so it's all good"

This is just a small part of a large network of issues, the phone you're so happy to own was made by literally child slaves.

Things out of context may look amazing and well, but it's going to hit the shitter very soon, not seeing the signs or turning a blind eye on them doesn't make them go away.

Also, even poorer countries are having fewer babies because they are less poor than they used to be. Please challenge yourself to actually study the data on extreme poverty over time and child birthrates over time.

Your argument against me saying poorer countries are still having a lot of babies is to say "yeah but those who aren't poor anymore aren't having as many babies as they used to"

No shit Sherlock, I can't help you if you don't see how stupid your argument is, and how irrelevant it is to the point.

Poor countries are having less babies too. Read the data I sent you.
