Clever idea. However, I propose a change. Rather than decreasing the exponential growth of human species, consider that the concept of a maximum number of humans on the planets may be a lie, or if you want to be generous, a misperception. In order to make natural resources seem scarce and therefore more valuable in the old monetary system, it was useful to spread this myth. There is plenty of room on Earth for many more people, including all of the resources we could ever need. There is lots of proof/evidence if you want to search this. But, it is much more convincing for you to find it through searching than for me to list the concepts. People are powerhouses of light. The more the better. Instead of planning for a reduction, let's plan how we can create GREAT experiences for the billions of people living on Earth in the future. That's something we can do.
Could well be true, but percentage wise, if we increase population, we also increase the amount of people living in poverty,
Mainly this happens because wealthy people tend to multiply themselves less.
Poor people tend to have less access to contraception and generally take their luck out of having more kids.
Due to the eastern economies rising there is already a reduction in growth at least I seen a youtube video about Bangladesh for instance, population growth decreased considerable there due to better economy.
Well the more people we have the more we have to share our resources, the quicker we empty our resources.
Bit like Steem Power being spread out more and more due to people powering up 😁
I propose that the more people on the planet, the less living in poverty. The more people there are, the more likely that some will figure out how to solve these problems. I've noticed that the people around me with more children work harder and figure out how to make money, because they really need it. Imagine a big field of sweet potatoes growing. A small family could farm some of them. But, if 100 neighbors came over in rotating shifts, there would likely still be enough sweet potatoes for everyone. And, then they all would learn how to grow sweet potatoes, and probably better, too. Problems arise if the original farmers say "nobody else in the world can grow sweet potatoes." But, if you can prevent that, there should be enough sweet potatoes for everyone.
Also, imagine a school with 10 people. They probably have 1 teacher. Now, let's say 50 new kids move into town. Now, the school will hire more teachers, resulting in better education through focus, diversity of experience and more resources. Then, let's say 200 more kids move into town. Now they have to build a building and hire more teachers and managers of those teachers. Soon, those kids graduate, pay taxes and possible donate (if a private school). Perhaps the school has support services for health, mental wellness, family counseling, job placement, meals, etc. and the families get to know each other and help them the same. The ecosystem grows and supports each other. Before long, there are alumni from most walks of life and able to help each other, if encouraged. This model is an example, but should work in many community settings. If there are not enough resources, it can only be because the people with access to the resources want to control and use them elsewhere. Can you think of another reason?
I like your thinking and you are probably right in general terms, but there are issues in countries where the infrastructure can't handle more people on the roads/ more schools.
There has to be room to plant those potatoes. Earthly resources might run out quicker, there is plenty, but already fish stock in the oceans are running low requiring quota on the amount of fish that can taken out of he sea. There are no unlimited supplies.
I am not entirely convinced yet, that although humans are good in adapting and bringing equity to the market as hard workers and inventors.
I think right now if we keep growing exponentially (this might not happen as it might balance out naturally) there could well be a chance of much carbon foot prints/ more wars/ shortage of resources.
In the end what problem is bigger, 5 people running out of water versus 10 people running out of water.
As always the answer is probably somewhere in the middle, my main issue right now and I think it should really be everyone's concern, is the the monetary system.
It is crooked/ corrupt and needs to be stopped! All the debts future generations start with is to us accepting this monetary system.
