It’s crazy that we’ve almost hit 8 billion.
My dad was born in 1957 when the world population was 2.8 billion. By the time I was born in 1978 we were at 4.3 billion. Now we’ve nearly doubled the population just in my lifetime, and I’m about to turn 43 in November.

Luckily covid has brought that number down to negative 400 million.
Western society has been dragging the rest of the world along to their own detriment.
We've been feeding Africa and Asia for 70 years, and they've been fucking like r-selection animals in a food-rich environment with no natural predators.
I make no comment as to the moral status of their decisions, but ours? Reprehensible. Eventually, the pyramid scheme collapses and what they'll get is mass starvation, because the land cannot support that many people, they have no viable exports, and local farmers who might have saved some of them can't compete with free.
About two months after the gibs dry up, I suspect the death count to be in the billions. These people are completely incapable of caring for themselves due to generations of being taken care of by external forces. They're like house pets.
Even when they make it to the first world they still can't exist without unlimited gibs, despite being given absolutely every opportunity imaginable. If all of a sudden their owners are gone and they have to feed themselves, they will be able to do nothing except kill each other and then starve.
I actually advocate for shutting off the tap of subsidized food to foreign nations, especially to primitive cultures who don't also adopt modern birth control.
If you want to do something for the people there, help teach them methods of sustainable farming and in dryer climates, help with sustainable water management. Otherwise we just make problems worse for those countries in a couple decades time.
