And honestly, would that be such a bad thing? 8 freaking billion of us is at least 7.5B too many.

    People who say this imagine themselves and their families in the 0.5B but will end up in the 7.5B, suffering immeasurably in the process.

    And you'll be first in line to be a member of the 7.5B that gets culled, right?

    You can kill me right now if you want.

    I dunno why the assumption is that everyone who makes the observation on overpopulation is so self-interested that they can't imagine their own demise as part of it. We'll all die in the approaching climate disaster, including you and me. The difference between now and later is small on a geological timescale.
