Like climate change, sperm counts are now dropping even faster than previously predicted w no end in sight.
 
Maybe the two cancel each other out: the Earth is uninhabitable and there are no humans to inhabit it.
 
Gaia revenge.
 
Well not long ago we had the "too many monkeys" thread, so i guess a bit less new monkeys born should be among our least concerns.
Yeah its a positive but it's unfortunate that we can't control our behavior without poisoning ourselves, no?
 
True..i was thinking for a long time now that many healthy habits or hobbies that peoples had before social media, mobile etc took them over are in decline.
lol
 
Could you guys f up to somewhere else w your conspiracies
usage of malthus in britain is historically rigidly connected to the "problem" of ireland, and today his ideas are mostly associated with qualms about population growth in the non-west. most people in academia itself have abandoned him, as he used the wrong mathematical models to support his worries. there's many reasons one could have to embrace him, but his invocation states, concretely, that the poors in africa breeding is bad.

so, like, sperm counts getting low can't both be good and bad, unless one doesn't mind - or wants - some people's sperm counts to be higher and others lower. that's effectively what one asks for when one simultaneously both asks for better sperm and less people

(mind my use of the word one, not the word you)
 
I'd put a small bet on some corporate board already knowing the cause, the way lead in petrol, smoking causing cancer, climate change were known.

Except that those were all associated with active misinformation campaigns, and so were noticeable by that effect. They didn't believe secrecy was possible. Hmmmm.
 
it was always about what, or whose, population growth they found appropriate
I get this but also, I kinda see it another way. I don’t think it matters to me what color the people are, but when they’re in poor countries that don’t have the institutional structure for having a decent quality of life, I think it’s a shame that population growth rates are higher.

Maybe there is some subconscious race thing there, but if people are having 6 kids in Moldova, I don’t know if that’s any better than 6 kids in Tanzania.

I don’t have children and likely never will. Mostly by choice, some by circumstance. I don’t think I could take care of a child, I don’t have the intuition for it.

motivation is complicated and mostly speculative, both from others and the one with an opinion (one may not even be aware of their own biases). but honestly, to me, it doesn't matter much. like, let's remove motive and focus on concrete situation of one's ideal world. for tanzania, it means fewer black people. for moldova, it means fewer people of a country of a historically exploited region (they have already been culled a few times). in either case, regardless of why one wishes a situation, the what is still fewer undesirables.

i'm not calling anyone a racist, i'm outlining what's actually what people call for when they say these things. everything else, motive and abstraction, is fluff.

that said, malthus was mostly a sidenote in this thread, something i picked up on. i've said my case in the malthus thread itself. so unless malthus is picked up specifically related to sperm (lol) this is my last post on it.

for speculations about sperm quality, it was just damnably strange that some people call for more and less sperm at the same time. regardless of narz' actual position, for others, i can say that there are people that embrace this hypocrisy, because for them, there is no hypocrisy. it's, for those people, specifically consistent, because more rich white people good, less poor black people good. (and no, it's not done by elevating people from poverty, but by making sure the gene pool adds up.)

and yea, i know that moldova aren't blacks. they're rather related to the romanians (which are culturally sanctioned to be undesirable in europe) and had their population downed under the sovjets because of math.

regardless, on malthus, climate, resources, western living standards, etc. it's all a fantasy. we can't sustain the current western life balance without the exported proletariats of the countries that we, at the same time, apparently don't want breeding.

So it's like getting a vasectomy for free?
 
Speaking of conspiracies, lmao.
You think you can control your behavior?

The thing about the forum these days (and the rest of interland) is that people seem more keen to discuss value judgments over the actual subject.

Might make your loads smaller too. Not sure. Some YouTube ad said they can fix that side of things tho

This is hilarious, all those paragraphs about malthus adjactects & their psychological profile.

And what's w people demanding that I choose between environmental problems and ball problems (also damage to a species)?

Do people discuss anymore?
