I have never had bluetooth fail so your wish is at least partly granted. You did not qualify that it should work for you . All jokes aside, how is working bluetooth (even for you) going to help manage overpopulation? When I was 13 the world had 4 billion people on it. Today at age 57 it has more than 8 billion. With more population increases are exponential. So ... Should we start terminating 9 out of 10 female children born to manage population and start focusing on bluetooth?
One of humanity's greatest downfalls is that we never take action until we are already in trouble. I for one am glad they are working on getting another planet habitable before population gets to extremes on Earth.
@unusnemo I am not so negative. In one generation any developed country goes to a birth rate less than that required for replacement of the population and so the system is self-stabilising over epochs. The Gaia hypothesis is creepily similar....
Yes, that would completely explain why we over doubled our international population between 1982 and 2022 ( 4 billion to 8 billion)? I do not know what you have been reading but it sound like metric math to me ! It does not seem like your hypothesis are keeping track of reality.

Take Mexico 1976 .... to 1 generation later.... I did not say all countries are now developed but I would wish them to be as that would solve the population problem mostly (if the planet is still habitable by then). geostarna.com/countries/mexico…
All fine and good. Still, just like most population explosion deniers you forget the real issue. You still have not addressed the doubling of the world wide population between 1982 to 2022 despite Mexico's fertility rate in the same window. What does the fertility rate of an individual country mean to the doubling of an overall population? If fertility dropped so much in so many places? Why did the population double in that same window? Think about this.
@unusnemo Well the poor countries their birth rate stayed insanely high. Nigeria being even now 4 ! So of course you are right but the long-term evolution of world population IF we get development everywhere is theoretically fine....if we can bridge the "crazy boom" time. That is all I was thinking.
That is a big if. But just think, even if we slow population, which they keep saying we have under control but the reality of the evidence shows otherwise, the shear size of the population will cause exponential growth unless the whole world inflicts population control measure China has, which are extreme. I am not saying we are at point critical now. I am saying we need to address this issue before we get there.
I do not think we are a doomed species either. I just believe that eventually, probably sooner than we think, we are going to need more space to inhabit. The quality of life will continue to decrease as the population does. With to many competing for limited resources.
@unusnemo By the way there was nothing in my posts denying anything. I was thinking about the remarkable relation between development and birth rate drop: which is a motivation to help the third world and as FAST as possible. I have never been called a 'denier' in the tone you choose to use as I did not deny any facts and was talking about the future possible scenarios.
I was not referring to your post, as it has nothing to do with population, I brought that into the equation . I am referring to your comment where you indicate that population, as you see it, is under control. And sorry I could have worded that better and it was actually meant in humor. I was not insulting you, I was jesting for effect . I am actually way more laid back than it may seem at times
