Starving Ireland's export of food is mirrored by resource-rich Australia's growing energy poverty. Useless bird-chopping whirlygigs (no doubt made in Asia using Australian coal) are parked out in the ocean not far from the coal fields of Wollongong. It's done to mock us, of course. The Irish (from whom I descend) were granted a comical/colourful role in the imposed culture after they were beaten down. The closest these globalists come to a human urge is their taste for mockery.
You see, regardless of their personal gifts and enormous power, globalists are a race of throwback deviants driven by one primitive instinct: to exploit what seems of use, and kill what seems of no use. They can calculate, anticipate and strategize...but they cannot think as humans need to think. They are the one race which needs and deserves reduction.
Amusingly 30 years ago he told me very assertively that I was wrong about that stuff. Nice to see him coming round but it was amusing . It goes to show that even if your left and right hemispheres are balanced you will still get bullied by a left dominant person . The balanced people rarely do well and it's actually getting worse now.
My sister is a left brain thinker that persists in debates as if she's correct even when I point out her wrong assumptions. In her mind, she's right even if she's wrong 😂.
On the other hand I've had luck at work recently. A lot of issues that are systemic are finally showing that the things I've warned them of years ago weren't made up. Obviously, back then I was ignored but sometimes reality catches up.
Balanced people may rarely do well when it comes to other people but the cold hard reality usually later confirms the big picture balanced view, even with my stubborn sister 😂.
yes but whats the point if nobody heeded us in the meantime ? balanced brains generate basically magical lifestyles .. its awesome .. but we cant defend them against the lopsided folks . McGilchrist has notably only written this stuff when safely retired away from it all .. in his working life I assume like with the rest of us it was too hostile to function from that angle.. ..he had to fight to get to the top of his career in order to retire and say nice things. so how do we progress ??
I’m thinking maybe psychopaths exist for a purpose, like abattoir workers, butchers, executioners, or waste disposal people, you can expand your own list. But they are the ones who need to be controlled, tracked traced & monitored. The world is back to front. Foxes running the hen house
I do too, but that wouldn't bring us into balance either. Earth is a battlefield of souls in their/our journey of awakening and deliverance. We need opposition to grow. If not, we'd just be sitting with out feet up stagnating in inertia. Our enemies sharpen us, keep us alert, so we may see the truth behind the veil of the world.
Some say; windmills, are not intended to deliver electricity but to create a sub audible dissonance, which many people have complained about upsetting their health and animals behaviour in the local environment. Others postulate that they are a device that delivers a “vortex” of directed plasma (ethereal) in which voices can be delivered directly to the mind. Weird whispers and disembodied shouts, “voices in the head”. It may seem like “tin foil hat” conspiracy theories unless you read Dr. Nick Begich, “Angels don’t play this HAARP”
the people who said that here were all hounded out by the communities, who wanted the revenue from the windfarms . It's not about to get massively worse .. 900ft windmills all over ..
Robert T. As an Aussie born in Ireland, it’s easy to see how the Irish can relate to the Palestinian people in their “troubles”. also noticed posts regarding the “whirligig bird choppers “
I dunno, Kaylene. Genghis Khan massacred one city so the next city would agree to terms. What he did to Beijing made for lots of converts subsequently. Would you settle for an alternating massacre-conversion policy?
Seriously, we're talking about people who understand maths but have no grasp of any limits to maths. "Unintended consequences" ring a bell? Perhaps the globsters can be humanely replaced by computers and the rest of us can go on bonding across generations and generally being human in the full sense.
At the time of these various famines the people were living pretty poor and hungry lives anyhow tho .. and unable to transport enough fish from the sea etc .. and the wildlife was decimated. Currently Im told the irish ecology is still being wrecked at an alarming rate .. its basically a huge logistical task to feed and house people without wrecking the environment and without warfare and tribal conflicts .. I think thats why the control plots are getting increasingly mean and tyrannical . We have to find better ways to organise locally else global will become the only stark option .
I'm thinking you're right. Thrift, moderation and realism would be helpful, as opposed to the manipulation and waste of Big Green (which is clearly a branch of Big $). Changing hearts and minds on the personal and local levels may be too hard a job right now, but it's about the only shot worth trying.
From Sumer to now, nothing has lasted, no system has ever been adequate against avoidable and unavoidable pressures. What human excesses can't wreck, bad luck will. But we still need to do our best, right? Things can be better for longer, and maybe that's our proper concern. Organise local? May as well!
I took a stab through a short fiction piece about this subject. I don't know if it makes the point well enough or if my writing is much chop, but here it is...
spent decades trying to change hearts and minds on the personal and local levels... meanwhile things have been rapidly going backwards .. but the more of us who try the better :)
This will be an interesting watch on the comments and responses. This is one of the biggest and most entrenched concepts in society. It is almost religious in it its indoctrination.
Its going to take a profound shift in thinking for people to change the way they think of themselves. They have been taught to hate themselves so efficiently!😉🤔🤨
Which probably works out for the best, at least for the elitists. When people realise how systematically they have been trained and then culled, sometimes even self styled culling, by so few. Well let's just say, the technocracy have bought bunkers for a reason...😉
Like the practice of abortion, or the practice of Freemasonry, it demonstrates another consequence of inability, or unwillingness, to trust in Divine Providence.
This is a scalpel through a two-centuries-old spell. You show how “carrying capacity” functions as ideology, not science—an elegant motte-and-bailey that makes manufactured scarcity look like physics. The Ireland → India → “green/clean” update arc lands hard: exports during famine, punitive relief, then the software layer of modern finance and climate talk that keeps blaming the poor while ring-fencing privilege. Loved the line that we don’t have a population crisis, we have a power crisis—exactly. Also smart to acknowledge genuine yield gains while showing how dependency and land concentration were the point, not the accident. Net effect: you turn “overpopulation” from a thought-terminating cliché back into a political question with names, dates, and incentives. Bookmarked; this is the thread I’ll send whenever someone says “there are just too many people.”
The impression of "too many people" is amplified by cramming people into limited areas to keep them close to their workplaces. I remember watching old footage of traffic and pedestrians in big cities thinking wow they had so many people even then. In years gone by looking down at the landscape from aircraft large swaths are empty of human habitation once you leave the civilization limits. Driving across New Mexico, Colorado, parts of Texas also had this appearance. If the daily experience is traffic jams, crowds, lines, shortages, then too many people is a natural conclusion.
Most likely, Erlich's population bomb has run out of scary air, because the birth rates of developed countries have fallen below replacement and the life expectancy has declined. What will they blame now?
Good points there belted... how about too many people in the city and not enough in the country where nature rules. And who do they blame? Any poor sap who will listen to their lies, but of course.
I am going to share this with as many people as possible! And print it out and hand it out! The more people are enlightened as to how their minds and lives have been manupulated the better off humanity will be and the more power we will have to counteract their agendas!
Great idea Judy, but a word of caution, I have tried every which way from Sunday to awaken or enlighten people... damn near impossible. If they are brainwashed and programmed, like most are... they do not know it nor will they acknowledge it. Awakening is an inside job... be gentle, plant seeds... influence them with your actions and presence. I feel a day is coming soon when people will start seeing the lies, all by themselves... the world is so inverted now. Take Care, Be Good, and if you can't be good be careful. RIB
I agree. I've also tried to no effect, sometimes ill effect. There's no way in. The propaganda runs so deep... I see it at the soul level - some souls are not ready to awaken, some may still, but it's in their own time. The harsh truth isn't for everyone.
Excellent essay. If you haven't already I highly recommend John Bellamy Foster's evisceration of this insidious "theory" titled, "Malthus’ Essay on Population at Age 200."
"Marx was therefore perfectly justified when he wrote that “what characterises Malthus is the fundamental meanness of his outlook.” Moreover, for Marx this meanness had a definite source. Fighting on behalf of the working classes against Malthusianism and its attacks on the poor, William Cobbett leveled the fiery accusation of “Parson!” against Malthus in 1819—an accusation of both class domination and narrow-minded moralistic subservience to the doctrine of the established Protestant church. In Cobbett’s own words, “I have, during my life, detested many men; but never any one so much as you…. No assemblage of words can give an appropriate designation of you; and, therefore, as being the single word which best suits the character of such a man, I call you Parson, which amongst other meanings, includes that of Borough-monger Tool.”
Now as far as arguing against those who promote population reduction I believe I have mastered the counter-argument. My first step is to enthusiastically AGREE with them and offer the obvious and necessary first step to handle overpopulation and excess resource consumption.
I simply point out that the richest ten percent of people are responsible for around two-third's of global environmental damage while the bottom fifty percent contribute almost nothing to these crises. So if these Malthusians are really serious about making a positive impact they should be calling for the elimination of the wealthiest first, starting at the very top, and working from there. In fact the world’s richest one percent are responsible for fifty times more greenhouse gas pollution than the four billion people on the bottom half of the global economic scale combined.
Not only does this mean that we don't need to "get rid" of as many people as one might think it has the added benefit of eliminating the most arrogant of humans who BTW are the same ones that promote this neo-Malthusian claptrap.
Marx and Malthus were essentially two sides of the same coin, in that both saw life as inherently a zero-sum game, albeit in different ways. And it is a fallacy either way.
The question is, do we or do we not want everyone in the world to have at least some semblance of a decent standard of living in the long run? (I would argue a resounding HELL YEAH!). Runaway population growth would ultimately make that a pipe dream, unless we all (voluntarily and ethically) have fewer kids, but in the rich and poor countries. And we sure don't see very many people in the Global North willing to reduce their standard of living to that of the Global South, it's far more the other way around.
I want you mention to you that all the solutions are written into the article in nuances that intelligent people will pick up immediately! Please look more deeply into what has been said. This is actually the most enlightening article I have ever read and I read for hours every day! Start with the premise than now you know how they have manipulated the minds of the people for centuries and covered it all up by blaming and shaming them! They don't want the public to know who is behind all this and how they do it but these writings explain it all! If everyone knew all this we would live in a loving world as we were intended to do!
Again you seem very short on details (as David) as "European standard of living" means nothing without context.
That standard of living BTW is dependent on mass colonial theft and slaughter. Funny that you (rightly) point towards the problems inherent with capitalism (you would do well to drop the "patriarchy" gibberish as that too means nothing) yet you embrace one of its more cruel catechisms.
BTW Pimentel's standard of living up at Cornell wasn't exactly a great example for others to follow.
Seems like you're just regurgitating ready-made slogans and truly haven't delved into this matter much beyond those slogans.
So in other words, you would be fine with personally reducing your own standard of living to the current average of the Global South, amirite? Thought so. LOL.
Why am I NOT surprised that you also deny the existence of patriarchy as well?
I seem to remember a great famine in Ukraine. The 1st Governor of New Amsterdam, Peter Stuyvesant, disallowed Jews from owing certain businesses, so they high-tailed it to Rhode Island where they created fire water for the American Indians. And money, eventual complete control of the liquor industry. Than came Ukraine where more money could be made from producing vodka from the potato crop than feeding the people. Millions upon millions perished.
I read a very interesting article some years back from a man who used logistics and math to disprove this over population theory, and it truly rocked me. The US is the 3rd largest land mass in the world. He calculated, given the population size, that he could create enough 3 bedroom homes with a nice sized front and back yard to house everyone living in the US and place every single home within the confines of New Hampshire. Let that sink in.
Today, comparing elite homes to a modest 3 bedroom home in America is unacceptable, children MUST have their own spaces doncha know, yet I was raised comfortably in a 3 bed home with my 5 siblings, parents and grandmother. Nine at the dinner table in a beautiful home. So, what's wrong with 3 bedroom homes? Absolutely nothing.
So, times this one country with all the other countries in the world and calculate how desperately this world is under developed and how many more people can exist on this earth. Incalculable.
That great famine was the Holodomor. Denied for decades until finally acknowledged due to Western press coverage. Stalin shipped the grain (and other produce) from Ukraine to Russia to feed the army, leaving none for the Ukrainians who starved to death.
Tackling the Malthusian Monster! Now THERE'S a Goliath needing challenging! Connecting this monster with the East India Company's historical dominance is brilliance because it aims at the head of the snake - well above "Tommy Boy" Malthus.
"East India Company", "The British Empire", "The City of London", "The Malthusian theory of (Over) Population"... and even: "Marxism" (Moses Mordecai Karl Marx Levy was an employed Rothschild) are all
accurate synonyms for:
Rothschild Banking Cabal - that notorious, powerfully inflentual (and huge) cabal of Sabbatean Frankists: unabashed Satanists wrecking havoc with humanity through lies and resulting warfare.
Symbolic logic demonstrates: "From the False, Anything is possible" - and Robert Malthus (please forgive that I am LOATHE to refer to him as "Reverend"!) had one of many ways of demonstrating how ugly error is, and how lethal it can be. (That Mathus influences yet - from beyond his grave most likely is something his soul continues to pay the ultimate penalty for.)
As a devout (now old) Christian lady, I would suggest adding one additional component to the decision making of husband and wife in their begetting of children: Almighty God, the One who creates individual souls. The marriage act only generates human bodies -and, however beautiful or brilliant the might be, without the Incarnation of an immortal soul, they are of no enduring value: just flowers that either and fade.
When we cooperate with Holy, Mighty, Eternal God in bringing new life to earth, we can also rely on Him to assist in providing for the growth and sustenance of those lives: they, as we, ultimately, belong only to Him.
Human life on earth, however short, unjust and painful - is especially blessed. We can look forward to the Blissful Eternity where creatures as the Rothschilds (and their minions) will not be permitted to dominate. Their 15 minutes of crime will have ended. Definitively.
Very well expressed! ..."the inner liberation of man begins by living responsibly before God. Only then may stupidity be overcome." (Detrick Bonhoeffer)
A young Josef Stalin also worked for the Rothschilds at their refinery in Batumi. He was a labour organizer and probably an undercover snitch reporting to his masters. Real history is definitely very different to what we are taught.
That's right, they own Reuters, Associated Press and the French one Agence France-Presse, which basically supply the news stories to all the newspapers and media companies - which are themselves owned by freemasonic cabal tycoons like Murdoch, Hearst, Bezos, Rothermere etc.
Once again Paul you deliver the goods. Quite a considerable undertaking to be succinct yet comprehensive on this subject. Such valuable work deserves recognition.
On the David Knight show last week they discussed (&read) excerpts of Karl Marx’s letter to his father. Revealing Marx’s indebtitude to “Satan” (or Lucifer can’t remember atm)
Thomas Malthus was the one of the very first "Anthony Fauci's" it seems—or Fauci is the new Malthus. Another example of bad science influencing our societies. We need to learn to spot bad ideas and inform others, so these deceptions don't gain ground. Climate Change is an excellent example: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/why-climate-change-is-wrong-dangerous
Exactly and Fauci and all of today's LITTLE FAUCIS are the descendants of Pasteur and why we are dominated by the lies of FAKE SCIENCE and still believe in "germ theory".
"The concept of carrying capacity, when applied to humans, assumes we're like bacteria in a petri dish—consuming resources until we hit a wall and collapse. But humans create resources through technology and social organization. We turned sand into silicon chips, air into fertilizer, sunlight into electricity. The "limits" keep receding because the model is wrong. We're not consumers but creators, not mouths but minds."
This is a powerful section. We've been taught ONE image of humanity, but the truth of the matter is that the OPPOSITE is the truth. We create, but haven't told that we consume.
A fabulously and exceptionally well-researched and articulated essay! Where was this when I repeatedly had this argument with those who so firmly believe there are too many of us on the planet? They refuse the idea that scarcity is a result of a minute percentage of the population controlling the vast majority of the resources; that human ingenuity harnessed for the benefit of humankind, rather than by and for those in power, can and has solved more problems than birth control ever will.
The idea that there are too many of us - and that consequently we are a scourge upon the earth - is an evil so entrenched it seems almost impossible for the truth to penetrate it. Thanks for this profound effort in that direction.
Without people you have no inventors, entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, farmers, scientists, producers, consumers, doctors, employers, employees, etc. You have the moon. You have NOTHING. People are the greatest natural resource!!
Both can be true at the same time. Oligarchy -induced artificial scarcity (which I agree is a serious problem) can exist at the same time as actual overpopulation and ecological overwhoot. They are not mutually exclusive.
Who gets to decide when the earth is overpopulated though? How could we possibly know for sure if it was or wasn't? We've never had a fair system that would see resources distributed fairly. After feudalism, we got neo-feudalism, disguised as democracy. We've never had an economic system where human-centred ingenuity that would enable all to thrive has been funded or rewarded in any fashion. We've never had an education system that promoted creativity.
Why buy into the idea that ecological harm is caused by overpopulation - and by most people whether or not there are "too many" of them for some anonymous power broker's liking? Especially when it's the large corporate industries, chemical and pharma industries and the like that create and distribute most of the toxins that pollute our water, air, food and general environment. Again, if innovative solutions were funded instead of being buried, we'd undoubtedly have more ecologically-friendly ways to thrive. If the truth was allowed the same space as lies, we'd all know that adequate food could be grown without toxic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.
So I guess it could exist at the same time. But as the article so eloquently demonstrates, it doesn't. And without giving human ingenuity a genuine chance to continue solving problems, jumping to the conclusion that there are too many people is misguided and dangerous. It buys into a de-population agenda that has nothing to do with saving the earth and everything to do with evil intent on not only continuing to destroy the environment, but humanity as well.
In 1966 I was taking an English history class. My professor taught about the idea of Pilgrims and Puritans leaving to the US for religious rights was also because of the idea that there were too many people in England and that going to the New World was a way to get around that!! This article certifies how the elite will go to any length to protect their agenda.
It is my understanding, from what I’ve read, is the total world population that they claim is off by a factor. A study was done in India and the total population wasn’t anywhere near what the government says it is.
Thanks for that. Very interesting.

Yep, Ian McGilchrist's book The Matter with Things explains the issue with left hemisphere dominance... You see the details but lack the big picture.
That's why the predator class and their "geniuses" are wrong most of the time.

No they weren't they were polar opposites in every possible way.
That you would make such an illiterate comment reveals you know nothing about Marx.
Very insightfully stated!
I could not agree any more if I tried. I have used exactly the same argument myself, and my opponent just told me I was barking mad.
Which makes both you and I correct.
Start at the top...it would also eliminate an entire cohort of psychopaths and megalomaniacs.
Warfare would become extinct overnight, by way of a bonus.
The question is, do we or do we not want everyone in the world to have at least some semblance of a decent standard of living in the long run? (I would argue a resounding HELL YEAH!). Runaway population growth would ultimately make that a pipe dream, unless we all (voluntarily and ethically) have fewer kids, but in the rich and poor countries. And we sure don't see very many people in the Global North willing to reduce their standard of living to that of the Global South, it's far more the other way around.
As soon as I read "The question is.....my brain switches off
So simple it isnt.
You seem to traffic in platitudes and jargon with scant details about much of anything.
How about giving us a hard and fast number on what you perceive to be the optimum population of the planet.
"Decent standard of living" is about as fungible as "runaway population growth."
The notion of "fewer kids" without context is on its own another meaningless phrase tossed in for effect I guess.
I want you mention to you that all the solutions are written into the article in nuances that intelligent people will pick up immediately! Please look more deeply into what has been said. This is actually the most enlightening article I have ever read and I read for hours every day! Start with the premise than now you know how they have manipulated the minds of the people for centuries and covered it all up by blaming and shaming them! They don't want the public to know who is behind all this and how they do it but these writings explain it all! If everyone knew all this we would live in a loving world as we were intended to do!
I'm aware of this.
Perhaps your comment was intended for someone else.
David Pimentel, for example, puts the optimum population of the world at around 2-3 billion at a European standard of living.
Yes I know and know his work very well.
Again you seem very short on details (as David) as "European standard of living" means nothing without context.
That standard of living BTW is dependent on mass colonial theft and slaughter. Funny that you (rightly) point towards the problems inherent with capitalism (you would do well to drop the "patriarchy" gibberish as that too means nothing) yet you embrace one of its more cruel catechisms.
BTW Pimentel's standard of living up at Cornell wasn't exactly a great example for others to follow.
Seems like you're just regurgitating ready-made slogans and truly haven't delved into this matter much beyond those slogans.
So in other words, you would be fine with personally reducing your own standard of living to the current average of the Global South, amirite? Thought so. LOL.
Why am I NOT surprised that you also deny the existence of patriarchy as well?
Well when you can't support any of your ideas- that BTW are ruling class ideas- you resort to personal attack and petty speculation.
As I said it's apparent you don't know much at all on this topic and therefore must rely on liberal sloganeering and rank sophistry.
Love this. Going to borrow and deploy as part of my arsenal, if I may! 😆
I seem to remember a great famine in Ukraine. The 1st Governor of New Amsterdam, Peter Stuyvesant, disallowed Jews from owing certain businesses, so they high-tailed it to Rhode Island where they created fire water for the American Indians. And money, eventual complete control of the liquor industry. Than came Ukraine where more money could be made from producing vodka from the potato crop than feeding the people. Millions upon millions perished.
I read a very interesting article some years back from a man who used logistics and math to disprove this over population theory, and it truly rocked me. The US is the 3rd largest land mass in the world. He calculated, given the population size, that he could create enough 3 bedroom homes with a nice sized front and back yard to house everyone living in the US and place every single home within the confines of New Hampshire. Let that sink in.
Today, comparing elite homes to a modest 3 bedroom home in America is unacceptable, children MUST have their own spaces doncha know, yet I was raised comfortably in a 3 bed home with my 5 siblings, parents and grandmother. Nine at the dinner table in a beautiful home. So, what's wrong with 3 bedroom homes? Absolutely nothing.
So, times this one country with all the other countries in the world and calculate how desperately this world is under developed and how many more people can exist on this earth. Incalculable.
That great famine was the Holodomor. Denied for decades until finally acknowledged due to Western press coverage. Stalin shipped the grain (and other produce) from Ukraine to Russia to feed the army, leaving none for the Ukrainians who starved to death.
Tackling the Malthusian Monster! Now THERE'S a Goliath needing challenging! Connecting this monster with the East India Company's historical dominance is brilliance because it aims at the head of the snake - well above "Tommy Boy" Malthus.
"East India Company", "The British Empire", "The City of London", "The Malthusian theory of (Over) Population"... and even: "Marxism" (Moses Mordecai Karl Marx Levy was an employed Rothschild) are all
accurate synonyms for:
Rothschild Banking Cabal - that notorious, powerfully inflentual (and huge) cabal of Sabbatean Frankists: unabashed Satanists wrecking havoc with humanity through lies and resulting warfare.
Symbolic logic demonstrates: "From the False, Anything is possible" - and Robert Malthus (please forgive that I am LOATHE to refer to him as "Reverend"!) had one of many ways of demonstrating how ugly error is, and how lethal it can be. (That Mathus influences yet - from beyond his grave most likely is something his soul continues to pay the ultimate penalty for.)
As a devout (now old) Christian lady, I would suggest adding one additional component to the decision making of husband and wife in their begetting of children: Almighty God, the One who creates individual souls. The marriage act only generates human bodies -and, however beautiful or brilliant the might be, without the Incarnation of an immortal soul, they are of no enduring value: just flowers that either and fade.
When we cooperate with Holy, Mighty, Eternal God in bringing new life to earth, we can also rely on Him to assist in providing for the growth and sustenance of those lives: they, as we, ultimately, belong only to Him.
Human life on earth, however short, unjust and painful - is especially blessed. We can look forward to the Blissful Eternity where creatures as the Rothschilds (and their minions) will not be permitted to dominate. Their 15 minutes of crime will have ended. Definitively.
Very well expressed! ..."the inner liberation of man begins by living responsibly before God. Only then may stupidity be overcome." (Detrick Bonhoeffer)
Karl Marx was more of an expert on beards than economics:).
It actually has been said
(by more brilliant bulbs 💡 than I) that he took dictation from Satan...🤔
A young Josef Stalin also worked for the Rothschilds at their refinery in Batumi. He was a labour organizer and probably an undercover snitch reporting to his masters. Real history is definitely very different to what we are taught.
The Rothschilds took control of Western Media immediately after they took control of the British Empire (through their own version of Banking)
That's right, they own Reuters, Associated Press and the French one Agence France-Presse, which basically supply the news stories to all the newspapers and media companies - which are themselves owned by freemasonic cabal tycoons like Murdoch, Hearst, Bezos, Rothermere etc.
Beyond sad - tragic.
(It is what it is... FOR NOW.)🙏🏻✨
Once again Paul you deliver the goods. Quite a considerable undertaking to be succinct yet comprehensive on this subject. Such valuable work deserves recognition.
On the David Knight show last week they discussed (&read) excerpts of Karl Marx’s letter to his father. Revealing Marx’s indebtitude to “Satan” (or Lucifer can’t remember atm)
*Thomas (not Robert)
Thomas Malthus was the one of the very first "Anthony Fauci's" it seems—or Fauci is the new Malthus. Another example of bad science influencing our societies. We need to learn to spot bad ideas and inform others, so these deceptions don't gain ground. Climate Change is an excellent example: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/why-climate-change-is-wrong-dangerous
Exactly and Fauci and all of today's LITTLE FAUCIS are the descendants of Pasteur and why we are dominated by the lies of FAKE SCIENCE and still believe in "germ theory".
Rothschild minions, both Malthus and Fauci...and, sadly, so very many more.
"The concept of carrying capacity, when applied to humans, assumes we're like bacteria in a petri dish—consuming resources until we hit a wall and collapse. But humans create resources through technology and social organization. We turned sand into silicon chips, air into fertilizer, sunlight into electricity. The "limits" keep receding because the model is wrong. We're not consumers but creators, not mouths but minds."
This is a powerful section. We've been taught ONE image of humanity, but the truth of the matter is that the OPPOSITE is the truth. We create, but haven't told that we consume.
A fabulously and exceptionally well-researched and articulated essay! Where was this when I repeatedly had this argument with those who so firmly believe there are too many of us on the planet? They refuse the idea that scarcity is a result of a minute percentage of the population controlling the vast majority of the resources; that human ingenuity harnessed for the benefit of humankind, rather than by and for those in power, can and has solved more problems than birth control ever will.
The idea that there are too many of us - and that consequently we are a scourge upon the earth - is an evil so entrenched it seems almost impossible for the truth to penetrate it. Thanks for this profound effort in that direction.
Without people you have no inventors, entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, farmers, scientists, producers, consumers, doctors, employers, employees, etc. You have the moon. You have NOTHING. People are the greatest natural resource!!
Well said!
Both can be true at the same time. Oligarchy -induced artificial scarcity (which I agree is a serious problem) can exist at the same time as actual overpopulation and ecological overwhoot. They are not mutually exclusive.
What is ecological overwhoot?
Who gets to decide when the earth is overpopulated though? How could we possibly know for sure if it was or wasn't? We've never had a fair system that would see resources distributed fairly. After feudalism, we got neo-feudalism, disguised as democracy. We've never had an economic system where human-centred ingenuity that would enable all to thrive has been funded or rewarded in any fashion. We've never had an education system that promoted creativity.
Why buy into the idea that ecological harm is caused by overpopulation - and by most people whether or not there are "too many" of them for some anonymous power broker's liking? Especially when it's the large corporate industries, chemical and pharma industries and the like that create and distribute most of the toxins that pollute our water, air, food and general environment. Again, if innovative solutions were funded instead of being buried, we'd undoubtedly have more ecologically-friendly ways to thrive. If the truth was allowed the same space as lies, we'd all know that adequate food could be grown without toxic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.
So I guess it could exist at the same time. But as the article so eloquently demonstrates, it doesn't. And without giving human ingenuity a genuine chance to continue solving problems, jumping to the conclusion that there are too many people is misguided and dangerous. It buys into a de-population agenda that has nothing to do with saving the earth and everything to do with evil intent on not only continuing to destroy the environment, but humanity as well.
Regardless, there are still hard limits to growth, both population AND consumption.
How would a person go about determining whether or not that's true, given that there are no "hard limits" to human ingenuity?
Absolutely Textbook Perfect!!
This is a freakin masterpiece! 🙌
You cannot see me, but I am standing on my chair clapping wildly and cheering. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.
Such a good resource. Thank you.
Old ideas...new means of implementing and weaponising them...
In 1966 I was taking an English history class. My professor taught about the idea of Pilgrims and Puritans leaving to the US for religious rights was also because of the idea that there were too many people in England and that going to the New World was a way to get around that!! This article certifies how the elite will go to any length to protect their agenda.
It is my understanding, from what I’ve read, is the total world population that they claim is off by a factor. A study was done in India and the total population wasn’t anywhere near what the government says it is.
