27,000 deaths a day approximately. According to the WHO 150,000 people die every day right now. 385,000 people are born every day. I mean it sounds bad, but in this context it doesn't sound that bad....

    Exactly, and it's not like it's going to be me dying. It will be someone else. Thanks to denial, I'm immortal.

    Yeah. Don't blame people at all for not having kids. Frankly the planet probably needs less humans.

    The planet can absolutely support more humans.

    We'd just have to be something that even halfway resembles responsible about it. Good luck with that part
