And then they go and put another human being on the tracks.

Thank you for the context!
So you agree that as things are, there aren't enough resources for the current population, let alone billions more people.
This complete overhaul of the structure of society that keeps being mentioned here is an impossible pipe dream fantasy that is flat out just not ever going to ever happen as it fundamentally goes against human nature.
Human beings aren't capable of altruism. What about the world around you ever gave you the idea that we were?
Most people won't even go vegetarian (let alone vegan!), and yet you expect the rich and powerful to just roll over and give up all their money and power for this imaginary 'greater good' scenario that will save the world?
Stop believing in stupid fairytales, they won't save you from the world that is falling apart right in front of you.
You all started saving up your mouldy bread yet? With enough mould some of it is going to have to be the right strain to get you better.
Nobody has ever thought to try and 'fuck em up' yet. What a novel idea that nobody in power could ever see coming.
These people are in power.
It shouldn't bother me as much as it does that despite everything visibly getting worse in real time around us, and fascism literally being on the rise everywhere, there's still people pushing dangerously stupid propaganda like this thread claiming the earth can support billions more people and that perfect communism is possible.
The mental gymnastics involved here require an ice pick to the brain.
This study is dangerously stupid.
We are rapidly running out of resources for survival.
Global fresh water demand will exceed supply by 40% by 2030 and 90% of topsoil is at risk of depletion by 2050.
We are already over capacity on fresh water demand for the amount of humans alive on this planet.
Top soil is what food grows in. Without top soil we can't grow food.
Billions of people will die this century. The planet cannot support any more people. Don't have kids.
And do you think humanity as a whole is intelligent, organised, and altruistic enough to willingly 'take a different path'?
Most motherfuckers wouldn't even wear masks during covid and yet you think they're going to embrace this? Lmao.
Good for you Genius, I wish you luck organising your anarcho-communist militias and forming the authoritarian dictatorships of your dreams.
Lmao, we're just a bit more fucked than that.
Global fresh water demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030 and 90% of the earths topsoil is at risk of depletion by 2050.
Resource depletion is going to hit hard in the next few decades, billions of people will die.
