Peterson gives a harsh comment "too many people on the planet". It's worse than that. We've built a system that depends on there being continuous population growth
Hi Calinor,
The way I see it, humanity will have nothing but benefits by lowering the world’s population.
Check out my post from last year titled “What are the benefits of a smaller population?” It’s dated October 22 2021 in the Foyer section.
Personally, I don’t think the world economy will suffer at all. As the labor force shrinks in wealthy nations we can outsource the jobs to impoverished nations. We can build the same amount of products by employing the poor nations and as they grow wealthier, the poor nations will grow into an expanding customer base for industries around the world.
Just look at what happened when Taiwan and Hong Kong grew from poor to rich. They buy a number of products from the world’s markets these days.
