To be fair, with less people there wouldn't be a housing crisis. And our carbon emissions would be lower.
Except they don't want human population to decrease. They need more and more people at the bottom of the global ponzi scheme to prop it up.
Yeah its actually the opposite, anime is supposed to make people horny. - Source: i made it up
Conservatives say that's what they want, but they only really want to subjugate women. If they actually cared about population totals first, they would be working hard to make it so everyone who wanted a kid could get one.
One core problem developed countries are experiencing, in terms of demography, is the mismatch between skills development and biological fertility. It takes people into their 30s or even 40s before they're financially able to support children. For millions of couples, by the time they can financially support a child, the window has already closed. It takes so much education and experience to be competitive in advanced economies that it creates this mismatch.
Now, we could have mass government-sponsored surrogacy. But that has so many ethical problems, that there is a reason no government has tried it. Yet, there is a near-term technology that we are on the verge of, but very little research dollars are dedicated towards. That is artificial gestation.
When was the last time you heard Musk or any of the other demographics-obsessed tech bros throw a few billion at developing this tech? This technology, along with other advanced reproductive technologies, could really do a lot to raise the birth rate in developed countries. And there are other techniques that could also be leveraged with this, such as techniques to create egg and stem cells from skin samples. There's a lot of near-term reproductive technologies waiting in the wings that could have a substantial effect on the birth rate, but that we simply haven't fully developed yet.
In fact, governments could cover the entire cost of the artificial gestation process if they want more people that badly. Ideally, anyone who is in the position to raise a child should be able to fill out an application, have some gametes created via a skin biopsy, and have an infant grown in a womb tank. And have the whole thing paid for by the State Population Initiative, or whatever you want to call it.
There are millions of couples out there who have the financial means to raise a child, but simply are biologically incapable of having children. We typically flippantly tell these people, "just adopt!," as if there is some vast supply of infants in orphanages just waiting for adoption. In truth, adopting an infant involves years-long wait lists and costs a hundred grand or more. But there are millions of couples that would love to have biological children, but simply can't. They're couples with reproductive issues, LGBT couples, couples that have aged out, etc. If conservatives actually cared about demographics, they would be doing everything they can to make it cheap and easy for these millions of couples to get the children they want. And while mass surrogacy isn't really viable, a mature artificial gestation technology would be a game-changer.
And yet, you never see someone like Musk suggesting we develop these technologies, let alone pouring some of his billions to their advancement. The truth is that hand-wringing over population is just the latest dog whistle against women's rights. Their first goal is to subjugate women, the population issues are just an excuse.
Just want to point out, even with billions, an artificial womb would still not be seen for decades.
Even something like growing a kidney has been incredibly difficult. A whole human would require essentially first fully understanding the whole process of pregnancy and how a fetus affects the body, and then maybe artificial organoids as well. It would probably be easier to figure out how to grow a brain first.
Basically this is like the old saying of how you can't make 9 women make 1 baby in 1 month.
As automation/robotics/ai get better, humans transform from an asset to a liability. Fewer people means fewer protestors/rioters/revolutionaries/universal income recipients/whatever.
Were not that part yet. We're at the part where they need an ever growing youth paying into taxes to support promises made to the old and consume ever more to keep stock prices going up. What you describe is a few generations away still.
The only part of this that's true is that Australia has invasive rabbits.
The sexy fakes is from mosquitos. And they're not sexy fakes, they're just like the other male mozzies but sterile
Australia has only used biological control. The stuffed rabbit host of a childrens' tv shows was named Mixie for one of the biological controls: mixomatosis - a rabbit virus used in the past.
Yeah I went down a rabbit hole (heh) trying to see if it was true.
And no, turns out it's just a bunch of pesticides and more recently (since the mid 90s) they apparently infect them on purpose with something that destroys their liver.
I heard they control mosquitoes this way. They release a ton of sterile male mosquitoes, the males mate with females, and the female lays unfertilized eggs. This dramatically cuts down on the mosquito population.
Given the existence of products like "real doll", there's some merit to it happening to humans.
I don't know enough about any of it since I'm in a relationship with someone who has a pulse, and I like it that way.
It's a product aimed at people that can't get laid otherwise, and from what I hear it's usually a one-time thing because people soon realize it's as good as thrusting a plank.
Suggesting that it's real purpose is to control birth rate is just fucking ridiculous, nobody will ever ditch their woman because they figured that an unmoving full-sized fake vagina is better at sex than her.
Anon invents a conspiracy to explain his crippling hentai addiction
Nah, they didn't invent it, the NHK has been around for a while...
That’s a fair point until you realize that humans are a lot smarter than rabbits. (Supposedly)
Rabbits can be trained to use a litterbox. When is the last time you saw a human using a litterbox?
a portion of humans is, yes
Considering that 100% is a portion, I’ll agree with you
One of these days I hope to join that group.
The average human maybe.
But there is a significant overlap between the smartest rabbit and the dumbest humans.
Or was that with bears?
Your average 4channer didn't need anime girls to stop them having sex.
Their hygiene and misogyny did most of the heavy lifting there.
Lots of people pass through phases of maturity, from jerking it to weird cartoons when puberty hits to hanging out in the bar till last call after your second divorce.
You're going to be distressed to discover how many people on 4chan are fucking. Horniness isn't reserved for straight white weebs and there are plenty of women who are prone to making bad decisions, especially as they get older and the pool of eligible bachelors shrinks.
It's true, there are actually people who seek out those kinds of people. Story time!
My ex had this thing, maybe a fetish, about being desirable to...social outcasts? I'm having trouble finding an inoffensive term for them. Mix well 1 kg of gamer guys and 0.5 liters of unwashed weeaboo, add a dash of Axe body spray, and place in a fedora overnight. Sprinkle liberally with crinkly neck hair (or are they pubes?) before serving raw.
Anyhow, she enjoyed helping these guys lose their virginity. She was fairly attractive, an objective 6-7/10, but dressed well and was very charming. She told me about one guy she met through an anime club in college. When they tried to have sex the first time, he was flaccid and was too embarrassed to verbalize why. Apparently he turned on his computer and queued up some hentai, which he silently watched until he could achieve an erection. They had sex multiple times and each required a hot hentai injection.
I didn't find out about any of this until we'd been together for over two years. I initially had no issue with it beyond her having hidden it from me. Then she wanted to resume the behavior in an open relationship, immediately or she was leaving. I became promptly single.
It's not like those were going to breed anyway tbh
Japan does have a too low birth rate now.
I feel like an old man cause anime girls look weird to me. I see this stuff, the obviously hyper sexualized cartoon girls, and I'm always like "you guys know about pornhub, right? Pictures of real women, videos, millions of them are a click away!" So like, wtf is up with the cartoon fetish? I'm not shaming it, I just don't get it.
I had that exact thought about the anime girls, read your comment, silently agreed with it, upvoted it and then immediately looked at my figurine of Jessica Rabbit and said "ah, fuck" out loud.
It's a few things (for some people). One is artstyle/impressionism, another is that some of the stuff depicted is either impossible or less paletable with IRL people. Some is storytelling.
Erotic artwork has been a real thing for a while. If you want, I'll elaborate later. I might edit this after a while when I can be bothered to expand on this.
Same here (am old man) but in the context of this post one can make the argument that pornography in general is reducing the population. Not necessarily a bad thing.
Better than the war, famine, pestilence, forced sterilization usual routes
So like, wtf is up with the cartoon fetish?
Sexual appetites are informed by the images of people you familiarize yourself with. Not usual for people to seek out partners who remind them of old friends or family members, because that's the image they've imprinted on as attractive.
If you surround yourself with images of japanese cartoons (particularly horny ones, particularly when you're young and impressionable and you'd fuck a fire hydrant on a hot day) its not going to be hard to fixate on cartoons fucking.
If you surround yourself with booze and people your own age who are equally horny, you likely won't have that temptation.
anime girls are drawn keeping perfection in mind, by logic they will always belre attractive than real woman. idk what is so hard to get it
I find them cute but not sexually attractive. They're all very young women (high school or younger) with out of shape proportions.
I fucking hope so. The last thing this world needs is more people.
Well, at least not the kind that want to breed with anime girls.
They're faster, stronger, wiser, can do impossible stuff and magic. It only makes sense
Why scary? Wouldn't it be good if the human population didn't increase more?
The west is already on it, how do we propagate it elsewhere?
Fertility rates are on the decrease everywhere.This doesn't mean that population is decreasing, population increases as long as the fertility rate is superior to
12.1, which is still the case in a large portion of the world, but I think humanity on a global scale is expected to go beneath that treshold around 2050-2060.
Yes and no, the way our society is built/structured can't handle negative growth. A lot of infrastructure and way of life/quality of life would suffer massively. That being said, pop growth also can't go up forever (while limited to earth). We actually have a ton of livable land left too, cities have learned how to be so super dense that it's eating all the rural area's populations in quickly developing places (It's where all the jobs and opportunities are -cities). Estimates suggest we will top off around 10 billion people
In theory, we know how to build super dense city. In practice, we build gigantic suburban sprawl.
Is this why the population of Japan is decreasing that badly? 🤔
Damn that Bill Gates!
Supernormal stimulus
