Overpopulation And Malthusian Propaganda.

[Karl12]

Seems a lot of people these days are worried about 'overpopulation' but thought the vid below contained some important factual info about the mythology of the subject and the subversive propaganda put out by misanthropic Malthusian cultists.

Also some sober reading in this 2021 NYT article containing relevant statements from German demographer Frank Swiaczny who was the chief of population trends and analysis for the United Nations:





• Long Slide Looms for World Population, With Sweeping Ramifications

All over the world, countries are confronting population stagnation and a fertility bust, a dizzying reversal unmatched in recorded history that will make first-birthday parties a rarer sight than funerals, and empty homes a common eyesore.

Maternity wards are already shutting down in Italy. Ghost cities are appearing in northeastern China. Universities in South Korea can’t find enough students, and in Germany, hundreds of thousands of properties have been razed, with the land turned into parks.

A paradigm shift is necessary,” said Frank Swiaczny, a German demographer who was the chief of population trends and analysis for the United Nations until last year. “Countries need to learn to live with and adapt to decline.”

The change may take decades, but once it starts, decline (just like growth) spirals exponentially. With fewer births, fewer girls grow up to have children, and if they have smaller families than their parents did — which is happening in dozens of countries — the drop starts to look like a rock thrown off a cliff. “It becomes a cyclical mechanism,” said Stuart Gietel Basten, an expert on Asian demographics and a professor of social science and public policy at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. “It’s demographic momentum.”

When it comes to the root cause of 'overpopulation' propaganda then this short vid from the Population Research Institute also does a good job of explaining how a deluded vicar (named Thomas Malthus) once did some simple math in his head about food.. and then concluded that killing poor people was the right thing to do.

That vid also mentioned how 1960's author Paul Ehrlich eagerly took up and promoted the propaganda in his book 'The Population Bomb' and some further research below exploring how his predictions have been 'so remarkably, consistently and staggeringly wrong'. 

Meet Paul Ehrlich, Pseudoscience Charlatan


Why is it that this entomologist has become such a superstar of science, received so many accolades and awards, and wielded such influence over the public conversation on population despite being so remarkably, consistently, staggeringly wrong about the issues he presumes to lecture the public on?
