Probably you realize that your worldview and all the conceptions that fall under it put you on the fringe of humanity-- most people would tend to label you and others like you as extremist, crazy, etc. I agree that societal collapse is inevitable in the face of dwindling resources. I cannot agree with your pathetically myopic "solution", however, for a few reasons. First of all, it completely ignores the complexity and diversity of cultural mindsets in the human world, most of which would pass a damning judgment on most if not all of your assessment. They would never begin to take your "solution" seriously, or even if they did it would be in the guise of their own cultural workings. Second, and in the same vein, we've already tried that. Countries have tried forced sterilizations, mass murder, one-child policies, genocide-- everything to control their populations, and I don't mean only China and India but those are two particularly extreme examples. Look how well that worked out for them. Eugenics is one of the inevitable results of such a BC attitude. Lastly, I think you greatly underestimate-- indeed, you don't even include this perspective in your analysis-- the positive effects of complete reproductive freedom. That is, we have seen that in places where women have almost total reproductive freedom (Scandinavia being a prime example), the population moves toward sustainable birth rates and ratios. I agree that procreation should not be an imperative-- indeed, the burden of all humanity rests on each individual's choice to have children or not, and it should be made very clear that this weighty decision ought to be taken seriously every time one considers a pregnancy. But your "death penalty" policy ignores the fact that as people (especially women) are given choice over reproduction, they will most assuredly choose to have few if any children. There will always be a minority of individuals who want enormous families. But a huge majority of people understand how utterly taxing it is, not only on the world but also on them as individuals, to reproduce unsustainably. Ultimately, if the inevitable end result is a denigration of human rights, being forced to choose between your totalitarian state-controlled one-child policy and state-free chaos, I would probably choose chaos. You ought to think of a better idea. This one is insufficient. I mean it sucks.Leehttp://lifemarginally.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
