A total of 157 elementary schools across South Korea do not have any first graders set to enroll in March, the Ministry of Education said Monday, as a record-low number of new students is expected for the upcoming school year. According to the ministry, nearly every provincial and metropolitan area across South Korea had at least one elementary school that was not expecting new students, except Seoul, Gwangju, Daejeo...
Yeah but we need this long term. I get it, current economies are fueled by endless growth, raise your hand if you think that’ll keep working for the next 100, 300, 500 years!
The reality is that we probably need to reduce the global population by a few billion and then sustain that number and scrap our entire economic system in favor of one that prioritizes sustainability. Better now than in 100 years when there’s no food or water left.
Human population should probably reduce to about 10% of what it currently is. Basically, as a species, people need to get over the arrogance of needing to propagate THEIR genetic lines, as if that’s somehow important. It’s unsustainable.

100 years? The way things are going I doubt we have more then 10-15 before mass starvation begins due to crop failures and water shortages.
Indeed but even without climate change, the current system is doomed to collapse because it’s simply not sustainable.
Climate change is going to accelerate that 10X.
I for one see it as a good thing because fuck this arrangement.
Nah we’ll just do what we are doing until it’s too late cuz conservatives don’t want change
It’s right there in the name, baby. Conserve the status quo. Even better, reverse it to an older, even worse status quo if possible

So you’re saying 90% of the human race should die? And here I thought the IDF was genocidal!
No, it’s about reducing replicating to avoid a 90% die off
Reducing to 10% (like he’s proposing) would be a 90% die-off.
Everyone is going to die at some point. They’re not suggesting hastening that, but rather not replacing yourself.
