In just a few months, in November of this year, we are evidently going to reach the 8 billion mark in terms of world population.
Some are welcoming this, even celebrating it.
There really is not much to celebrate about it, however. Overpopulation is a huge problem, and it already is starting to show catastrophic consequences, particularly with climate change, but also, arguably, with some other sad news trends and societal failures that we are forced to endure and live with.
For the most part, I agree with Bill Maher in this piece, even if I do not necessarily agree with everything that he has to say. For example, unlike Maher, I am no big fan of Elon Musk, and do not believe that he is qualified to be taken very seriously on world issues, simply because he managed to make a boatload of money.
In any case, this is food for thought, and seemed worth sharing.
Enjoy!
