    More people = more pollution. More pollution = harsher climate. Harsher climate = less people. It’s all balanced.

      More people is not = more pollution. It’s how we live that’s the issue. If we all lived like “tribal” peoples from the Amazon or Indian North East, we would never arrive at this point.

      We just need to learn how to live with nature.

      But we have these two impulses. To protect nature, because we need it. But also to destroy it, because it really has been our number 1 enemy for most of our existence.

      Eros and Thanatos. It’s hard…

        We can’t sustain current population with the population density that hunter-gatherer methods can support, so you’re, um … kinda calling for genocide, really.

          Bro the world is VERY big. Much bigger than you presume. We can indeed all live like that.

          Not that we should, but we could…
