Unravelling The Malthusian Nightmare

In his now famous (and frequently abused) Essay on Population (1798) Malthus declared that if left unchecked population would increase exponentially and given that food production only increases arithmetically that if something wasn't done- we would all starve to death... by 1825! Clearly Malthus was incorrect, but never letting a potential catastrophe go to waste... the SJW's of the time eventually turned into the "Malthusians" and later the population control, or depopulation crowd who in turn gave birth to the radical environmental movement. One splendid example of this lunacy is the now thoroughly debunked Population Bomb written by Paul Ehrlich and his wife in 1968. But let's go back to Malthus...

Malthus was writing at the beginning of the industrial revolution and that was the central focus of his dissertation. His reasoning was thus: Industrialization (the use of machinery rather than labor in production would cause more leisure time for the "great unwashed" (the lower classes of workers). This leisure time, according to Malthus, would be used to procreate... Malthus, being one of the elite, held the typical view of the gentry of the time- that the peasant class was only slightly above animals on any social scale and given therefore to base animalistic behavior such as not being able to control certain "urges."

Once again, Malthus was wrong. Rather than procreate, the workers indulged in other pastimes such as sports (such as they were in the day), and other pursuits. The population explosion feared by the British aristocracy never occurred. However, perceptions being what they are, these same animalistic characteristics were projected by Ehrlich and his ilk onto the people inhabiting the 3rd world and although they too were wrong it hasn't stopped the depopulation crowd... the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other globalist luminaries from foisting bogus vaccines on developing nations that cause sterilization, paralysis and a number of other conditions that make reproduction impossible.

The global warming/climate change hoax is all a part of the depopulation effort as is the abortion industry (although for different purposes). Their agenda is pushed by the United Nations and all written neatly out on the Georgia Guidestones...

This is a reduction in population of over 90%. So how much danger are we really in from overpopulation?

In the late 1990's economist Thomas Sowell decided to do the math and discovered that the entire population of Earth will fit comfortably into an area the size of Texas- in single family homes with 4 people per home. There is even enough space left a small yard and streets. Admittedly the population has grown since the late 90's- so it would now probably require 5 people per home. As far as feeding everyone... we have no idea of how many people we could potentially feed. Over 90% of the world's starvation is politically caused. Before he was murdered by the Obama administration Muammar Gaddafi was working on a plan to bring water to Saharan Africa. Think about all of the leaves that are raked up and disposed of in America every Fall... imagine if they were sent over there to be composted and used to turn the Sahara into farmland (not to mention all of the other compostable vegetation that is discarded).

The problem isn't, and never has been, overpopulation- or an inability to provide enough food, but an unwillingness of people to work together to solve common problems. As long as opportunists can profit from the climate change hoax, things will never change... governments will continue to use bogus science to control people and their money. When governments use sanctions against countries it isn't the political class who suffers, it's the average family. The leaders continue to live high on the hog while their constituents starve. These aren't problems that can't be solved, their just more useful as political gambits to control the masses.

Sort:  

I don´t agree with you...But you made your point...And left the question in open...But in reality the average person is a savage that just looks for pleasure and not ilumination...The average joe is selfish and doesn´t have even reason to sacrifice himself for a higher purpose...He can´t even say the word metafisics, cause he is watching footbal...Once upon a time i was like you, before undestanding the iniciation and misteries you are diving in...In fact, most people don´even khow to use a condom, and they don´t care about maitaining universal balance with nature. What you are saying is that we all shall be led, by monkeys...And everything would be fine...Like africans that say, "send me food, look at children dying", when don´t even know how many children they have or their names, they don´t have social values, "save the tribal people"...Go to africa make the revolution like Che Guevara... And you are the guy who is sacrificed by your evolved consciness when those barbaric monkeys won´t even think twice before selling you to a organ factory in exchange of a coca-cola...The world must be ruled by reason of a intelectual society...Just as natural laws manifest itself throw geomtry...Only 1% of world population achieve the connections with other reality and worlds...99% is cattle wacthin TV...It is the way god designed us...Other way it would colapse...And we all can be happy forever and ever in the savana with the lions without toilet paper..You must figth to survive, you must learn to achieve, you must give to receive..You must sacrifice yourself to have the rigth. What happens when we help those retarded creatures? They bite you in the hand...They have no values...Just wasted organic matter...They murdered Christ, and go to church looking mundane salvation...

He can´t even say the word metafisics,
Odd...my spell checker indicates the spelling is metaphysics.
Physician..heal thyself.

My native language is not English. But we can keep up looking for appearences.

Steemit has a spell checker. the leeetle red mark under the word is a hint.
the word 'metaphysics'

  • the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, substance, cause, identity, time, and space.
    abstract theory with no basis in reality.

let me repeat. It has no basis in reality.
in other words it's just wanking, as the brits might say.

Reality is. The method to learn more about it is the scientific method.
Perhaps you might have heard of it?
I thought not.
It's the basis for the technology that allows you to sit around and criticize everyone else and feel smugly superior.
That's your right of course.

I studied many of the ciences...And i tend to consider myself as a cientific man...Then came a time when cience became predictable and something happened, i couldn´t explain some conections that i was experiencing...But they are real...Tradicional thinkin couldn´t explain the conclusions and events my cientific mind was receiving...It´s was impossible...I confess i had a cognitive dissonance...And it was the worts time of my life...My brain wasn´t perceiving anything as it should...But some ligth was shed in those hard times...And the conections of all what was said and happend made sense...Cience couldn´t explain it...I couldn´t...But it was real to the point that this reality was in fact a perceive ilusion...

Of course we have a notion of ego and we compare with others...If i feel superior is because i am reflecting the same action of the inferior beings act when they see you as superior...And what o they do!? They attack...That´s what this text is about...Why should we protect disguised sheep that are in fact bloodsucking creatures...So what i trying so say, cause i love games, attacking a man who is worried about human salvation in racional thinking is a bad as having in notion most people don´t even care about it...Superior/inferior...What is above is equal to whom is below...

Resuming...Hating Maltsuvian for his ideas and actions is the same as hating basic people...

everything is dual...but poles are the same in features...Just as extrem left is equal to extreme rigth...

And dont´forget Malthusian was doing "cience"...

Actually it's you that's wrong and his name was Malthus- the Reverend Thomas Robert Malthus and he wasn't doing science by his own admission. The part of his essay I left out was his belief that human beings are endowed by their creator with an innate spiritual sense that would preclude overpopulation. The rest of your "critique" isn't even worth bothering with.

He is righ if he is talking about Muslims...

and your point?
spelling changes over hundreds of years.
what's your excuse?

My problem never has been overpopulation or climate change. The and all goes back to the greed of money. Thanks for sharing @richq11

left out one word..
willful...as in willful ignorance.
synonymous to stupid
honest ignorance can be fixed...can't fix stupid.

Ways you can help the @informationwar!

Technology giveth....
...........were it not for tech populations would not exceed their food supply...they'd die due to exposure, predator attack, and war. Due to high tech those factors have been for the most part eliminated. Certainly there is more war deaths...in total. But as a percentage of population it has drastically declined.

Overall population increases

Tech taketh away..

A high standard of living is the best birth control. In the seventies the birth rate fell off the demographic cliff. At the present in the wealthy nations it's below replacement levels, and rapidly declining every where else.

It takes a while between cause and effect.

population level follows fertility..

The earth's population is predicted to begin a drastic decline by the year 2100

given his assumption Malthus may have been right.
His assumptions were wrong.
