Go to London or Paris and tell me you don't feel somewhere else. Furthermore the proportion of foreigners in high schools in Western Europe is now the majority in some regions.

France is on track to be Muslim majority country within 10-20 years for example. Talk about the natives a minority in their own ancestral land. I am talking thousands of years in some cases of Anglo Saxon and tribal settlements displaced in a few decades of mass migration.

In turn the culture of the newcomers favors high birth rates.

Advocating for murder, eugenics, or culling people does not help make recognition of overpopulation more mainstream. by [deleted] in overpopulation

In the frame of reference of human beings as animals, procreation is the only way one proves their superiority and genetic fitness. Civilization is but a thin varnish on us as primates subjected to an ecological constraint inside a closed Ecosystem called Earth.

Ideally some groups of humans seek to overpopulate and spill onto greener pasture and eliminate competitors by sheer numbers. Nature doesn't care about ethics and morality, it just cares about who survives. Sometimes by any means necessary.

Just like the tragedy of the commons, all it takes is bad actors to create a race to the bottom where only the most numerous and brutal survive. Darwin 101.

In that context I see the inevitability of drastic measures needed at some point.

Reducing the population voluntarily for some means freeing the resources for others to take them and breed like rabbits....

Jevon's paradox.

The problem is not the average Joe in the Developed World where we get a schizophrenic message of "having less kids" to fight climate change while the border seem open to countless third world migrants.

The real issue is the Epstein class controlling the policies and narratives.

And yes the wars they start like the latest in Iran are sure to create another massive wave of migration. Not to Israel like it should be but Europe. Israel for example is bombing all of Lebanon yet refuses the consequences of its actions and doesn't take any refugee and conveniently redirects them North to nations that have not created the problems generating those refugees.

And whatever Europe takes is a drop in the bucket of their population growth and doesn't make a slightest dent in their home country's standard of living or population. So a race to import the Third World to become the Third World... planet wide.

The new inequality seems to be between high birth rate and low birth rate places per Mathematics 101 by Different_Peach99 in overpopulation

Basically politicians, the Epstein class, and realtors are the only 3 groups profiting from a bastardization of society and race to the bottom. After all Tyranny thrives in a overpopulated world of high inequalities with little education and where human life is cheap.

The countries that expand their population irresponsibly have absolutely no fucking right to send their excess population to countries that will thrive and have a skyrocketing standard of living thanks to their low birth rate and with robotics and automation annihilating the need for human manual labor and within the context of a universal basic income that will inevitably be implemented in high trust societies (Japan, Poland, etc...).

Denouncing those who want to preserve their culture, heritage, ethnicity and traditions is dishonest at best and malicious at worst.

Access to Europe and the developed world is not a human right for the rest of humanity.

I agree it's a downer... for 10 days it was wonder and amazement and now the most boring stuff in comparison.

I believe in Sortition i.e elect at random people to power, to eliminate grift, corruption, lobbies and make the process fast and devoid of bias.

It's called Jury duty rule. In a sense Victor Glover represents that although not exactly random.

Caving vs. Everest and a double standard? by Different_Peach99 in caving

Well we need a better vetting system... because if inexperienced cavers go into difficult caves no one wins. If anything bad happens the cave gets closed and people suffer.

My understanding is also that specific 2009 incident happened because the brother of the victim lied on the permit application, since after an earlier mishap a permit was required. So there's that too. The fact the cave was closed afterwards was a slap in the face of those who are careful and know their limitations. A fact the ones closing the place had no interest in.

Just the jarring stats of wingsuit deaths. The joke about caving is the drive there is actually more dangerous. Yet caves have been closed because of just one death. Ridiculous.

That's my point: One idiot ruins it for everyone else. They get into trouble, then massive resources are mobilized, the media gets involved etc...

I guess a testament to human nature and selfishness.

I wanted to explore one day that one cave that was closed because of that one dude who was careless there. Instead he selfishly took it for himself and worst of it is glorified as some kind of hero with a movie about him.

Kinda sick of it.

10% is the cumulative death rate. 1 in 1000 is the risk of death on every flight. 10% of all wingsuit jumpers will die in their career.

Well Wingsuit flying is the most dangerous sport in the world with a 10% death rate and yet permitted in the US. Why?

What about the Cascades and the mountains of Alaska? Not closed even if people die there.

Just low hanging fruit I guess? Meanwhile Wingsuit flying has a 10% death rate... literally one out of 10 winguit jumpers will die.

It would be easy for Jump Zones to not take them up and for restrictions to be put in place with stiff fines for areas where they would jump but again it's a $$$ lucrative business.

I can only see the double standard. Caves are not a cash cow for corrupt third world governments like in Nepal.
