POPULATION COLLAPSE THE NEW CRISIS: Why underpopulation is worse than overpopulation? | The Tatva

In this episode of Time Tales, Anushka explains how humans are looking at a new crisis which is rather inevitable at this point and it is 'underpopulation'. For most of the years, we have considered too many people on the planet is the issue, but is it?

The prospect of too many people on a finite planet stood behind common environmental worries from pollution to global warming. Most urban couples have even started to skip having children at all, or no more than one, so they would do their part in preventing overpopulation.

However, this is rather increasing the problem for the existence of humans.

So, what is the matter of concern, earth have not enough resources to fulfill the needs of this overpopulation.

Like 3'rd-from-top comment says, "earth {has} not enough resources to fulfill the needs of this overpopulation". Not even for population remaining at the same kind of level for long. And in case anyone reminds us how wrong Malthus' predictions have been in the past, this is before we even start on the effects of pollution and even good old global warming / climate change.

As for the whole retirement thing, a) taxpayers' money gets spent on children too, of whom there will be fewer (especially where there is also mass *e*migration), and b) there's no rule to say a person must refrain from committing suicide if they reach retirement age without significant savings. Surely the solution to the problem of population collapse is a voluntary older-age version of the "Logan's Run" scenario for these people. And given the unstoppable truth of the next paragraph (unstoppable except by literally burning everything down, the evidence proves), many countries are already running out of resources to spend on healthcare in any case, leading to declining overall life expectancies in the west at least.

Lastly, to adapt the old British wartime saying, don't people know there's a global omnicide on? Not the mass extinction event that's falling on the rest of earth's life, but the rapid indirect suction of all means of livelihood and resources (including the mental health that's falling away with the atomisation side-effect of the entire process involved) from the vast majority of the human population by a relatively tiny (but fast-growing) number of mega-rich. Hence the video's comment about the cost of having children. Before the 2008 financial crash, when collective kleptocracy became a necessary side-effect of getting much richer, the reason why the very rich become even richer without individual effort, and also the reason why very few who aren't already pretty rich manage to become very rich (and there's any number of videos on Youtube, just for starters, that explain one part or another of how all this is happening), projections for human population were still projections of explosion. It's near-impossible to argue on the back of all available evidence that this a coicidence.

My point in rehashing that old news (which everyone who hasn't been living under a rock this last fifteen years [or even this last half-century for anyone who understands human nature] knows deep down but few feel able to admit to themselves) being that it makes sense from the point of view of one's mental health to accept it all on an emotional level (-even if not on the practical level of the imperative to build back societies from the ground up and so turn back the tide of mass starvation-) by looking at the silver lining in its effects on world population. Because given the evidence, it's hard to see the belief that the earth can sustain even higher human populations as anything but the wilful ostrich-like* self-deception of a bygone era. {* = 'like ostriches burying their heads in the sand' is an Anglosphere idiom for ignoring what's going on - especially evidence that points to obvious negative consequences/corollaries [in the background] of the picture in front of you.}

What's the use of having children if they wont be living a happy life.

[AjayDwivedi]

Currently there is only one collapse that is climate change because we are overpopulated. And planet can't bear a single child right now, if we stop producing child right now, then in future planet will take care of itself and if the planet will be healthy then everything will be healthy.

Something seems off in this video may be graphics and background of the lady doesn't matches

You should make video on mental health and over consumerism..🙌
