every way you look at the "overpopulation" scenario looks bad and heading to catastrophic results .Just stop and think what will happen in 10 years ,ok not so bad what about in 20 years still kind of ok what about in 50 years ,ok now we might have a slight problem but lets take it a notch higher . What about in 100 years ?? CAN YOU SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO WORLD POPULATION IN 100 YEARS ? .People claiming approval to overpopulation actually tend to not rationalize and think outside the box.
58 national science academies disagree with this video, Overpopulation = unsustainability. 7 billion humans are using ecosystem services faster than they are replaced and/or recycled and rely on unsustainable fuels to maintain our numbers, no more cheap oil = no more food. In case the over-entitled/rich maker of the above video hasn't realised yet 80% of the world survives on less than $10 a day.1 billion of them are starving.He should sell his phone pronto....if he isn't a hypocrite that is.
BUT the world population is set to grow to 9 billion by 2045–2050. and we are using up every square inch of highly fertile land and a lot of the mediocre land as well. if some experts are to be believed to keep up the current rate of consumption we would need 1.5 earths this is because farmland has to be left for a while not to over tax it etc etc so we are ALREADY in the shitter unless we can get a decent increase in world productivity.
And yes there is enough food to sustain everyone, but comfortably? if the population of the world were to eat/drink as much and the same types of foods as average american we would need 4.71 times more food than the world is currently producing we could with a concerted effort increase the worlds food production by 3x maybe and that is a rather generous estimate because we are using up nearly every square mile of farmable land already that 3x in food would have to come from efficiency and tech
Overpopulation ita a real fact , the damage on nature its a real fact , the most we consume , the most damage to nature , the nature cant handle too many people. Instruct yourself , natural resources are finite , and contamination and the expansion of the cities around the world is a BIG problem , the natural spaces are being reduced very fast , extincion of species are a real fact , we are destroying our own planet.
overpopulation is not objectively a problem but it certainly is a problem from the perspective of a human that cares about future quality of life. But Cody is too cool to care so alright....
sicknesses such as the plague, malaria, and polio take care of themselves too. People simply die and the problem is solved. So I guess we shouldn't do anything about diseases either. Or global warming. Or STDs. DURRRRRRRRR
It's not starvation that's going to kill the world... Watch the video "the most important video you'll ever see" here on youtube. At least the first 3 parts. It's a scientist giving a lecture on the topic of overpopulation.
Resource Based Economy is where we should be heading. You speak it. We have the technology and it is only the current system that stops us from advancing
The problem isn't food. The problem is if everyone wants to live like we do in the US, UK, etc... well, we're gonna run out of energy. So by the time countries like China, India, and Indonesia try to acquire all the same shit we do it will become too expensive.
yeah not only that Cody 20 percent of earth is desert and we can erragate the desert so we can grow food in it not only that we can grow food in our houses which will mean we will not have to rely on farmland and who's to say we can't grow food in outer space in space colonies
Obviously China's one child policy, forced abortions and not to mention the killing rooms (rooms where they put children that are up for adoption in to starve them) all mean nothing, and the mass sterilizations in India in the 70's also means nothing, even though they are the two largest populations on the Earth, sorry Cody but this video is fucking stupid, you also completely ignored other resources, land mass, etc. I usually like your videos but this one is pretty stupid.
@Jt1Torso1Winabego .... I'm curious. Your response doesn't indicate anything. Clearly you're against this video; but why? You obviously know what you are talking about, but I don't know what you're talking about. Are you pointing those things out to him as something he missed? Are you using those things to disprove what he's saying? What I got from this is that food is all around us, and if corporations helped the starving then, it would... help the starving. What really bothered you?
@VictoryMutoh What bothered me as how callously Cody can say overpopulation is ludicrous when we (as human beings) have problems like the ones I've mentioned due to overpopulation, but I agree that if corporations would spend more time giving out food and helping education a lot of the poorer countries would help quell these problems.
@Jt1Torso1Winabego I agree, his approach was very lackadaisical. He didn't support anything. I can support his claim by explaining how over 98% of all companies toss out tons of unused food, & bleach it so the homeless can't eat it. For China & India, I agree that a food shortage was a contributor to the rules, however, they were also controlling a person-to-job ratio. Now China has relaxed those laws since 2003 when they gained many warehouse jobs from the U.S. Job ratio is the U.S. downfall.
Overpopulation is real. Just like with deer, our population is getting too dense and eventually a disease will beat our scientists and kill off enough of us to re balance the system. Its not just an issue of food, but the resources we are burning through that arent renewable and the animal populations vital to our ecosystem we are killing off. If we changed our system which we will be forced to eventually we could do much better.
You' ve said it all man. Hats off. I'm from a Third World country and I know exactly what you mean. Brazil is a perfect example on how the government keeps the population in poverty and hunger for political profiteering. Give me your vote and I'll give you a banana.
Well, the earth can really only support 9 billion people's daily need of food via normal agricultural practices that use soil. The world's supply of naturally occurring fresh water (IE not created by getting rid of the salt in salt water) can support a little less than that. So Yes, our earth can only be populated by so many people, but right now we can solve the world's hunger problem and most of its water shortage. There is just no profit incentive.
I think you're missing the entire point. The point is that we WILL be overpopulated soon, and we should be trying to stop it before we die off en masse. Do you think nothing is wrong until millions of people start dying?
@d0md0mt0mt0m dude, we have been overpopulated for a very very long time, of course with the innovations of mass production, fertilization and supermarkets, our population limit is increased, but its getting to the point that even with new technologies that allow growth on earth, we will still be overpopulated.
Point being, we need to get off this fuckin rock. The way I see it, we have limited space and everyone wants to own land right?
@crackerz99 Yeah, I agree. I've been saying this for a long time. Even after we get GM food, what do you think is going to happen? Answer is the same thing that happened after we invented agriculture.
I can't tell if it was meant to be ironic but i enjoyed the fact you made this video with an iPhone out and the stunner shades on. It kind of brought your hypocrisy out to the forefront and if it was done intentionally it is fairly genius.
@TheFoolisher i dunno if you're being sarcastic or not but on the chance that you are, no its not a problem, we have the means to keep everyone fed, just not the will
Had to watch this a second to see if I was correct in my first analysis. I was right, this just sucked so never do anything close to resembling this kind of video. Stick to your good things.
Overpopulation is actually like a ticking bomb, the more people in the world, the fastest fossil oils will run out, without fossil oil, and in absence of a better technology to obtain energy, world's food production will collapse. no energy, no food, no people, that simple
If we leave Africa alone they will either die out because they live on a useless wasteland or they'll kill each other because their stupid. No, I'm not being racist it would be exactly the same if they were all white.
We should leave them alone for only they can solve their own problems. Call it inhumane but humans are animals and animals die. Their starving because they live on infertile ground and yet still continue to shag each other and reproduce.
@AkkiWare You have a very uninformed opinion. You should read more books and journalistic articles on the subject before expressing that opinion, otherwise you look like a complete tool.
@AkkiWare majority of africa's problems have to do with colonization and draining of resources. my parents are sudanese, and they can remember when it was lush and full of forests and totally green in spring/summer. now it is like a desert wasteland due to deforestation/oil. the land has become barren and dry because companies strip what they need from it (oil, wood, etc) and leave it to waste. now tell me my 89 year old grandmother can't produce enough from her farm because she's "stupid"
Food isn't the only resource.... what about homes, clean water, trees, petroleum. We're gonna need more of that in the future when we have 12 billion people, and it sure as hell ISN'T going to not deplete.
Overpopulation is stupid because people don't know how to manage their resources effectively. You can feed the entire world's population with the technology we have. If people learned to share instead of horde things this would be a non-issue. Not everyone needs a fucking car, a lawnmower, their personal toolbox...all of which is used only 10% of the products lifetime.
It's funny though a lot of the time the same people who say we have overpopulation are the same people who want to lower speed limits and make or keep certain substances illegal because they 'kill'.
You may have room for people, but do you have room for a garden for each and every person? To fulfill their nutritional needs for the rest of their lives? Can you dispose of the waste and garbage of 12 billion people in any sustainable fashion? Pollution, diminished quality of life,diminished value of life, hunger, increased risk of disease, increased poverty, fewer resources, and increased crime. Future technology can only solve so many of these problems. We can only hope things turn out okay.
@Wes919 It's my belief that, while, yes...we do technically produce enough food to feed everybody...it wouldn't exactly be nutritionally balanced nor would it be appetizing. Everybody in the world could eat grits, maybe. When you get into the idea of solving world hunger you start to become aware of the fact that the notion of a 1st world lifestyle isn't sustainable on a global scale, not as we understand it. How much more unsustainable is it when you double the population?
Overpopulation is stupid? Well I guess you could say it's a stupid idea, but that's like me saying the sun is a bad idea.. See how calling something that is real, has matter and exists in this universe a bad idea sounds completely nonsensical?
World agriculture produces massive amounts of soy and corn every year to feed livestock. If everyone in the world went vegetarian, there would be enough soy and corn to solve world hunger.
It's not just food. Do you realize how much each person's carbon footprint is in America and europe? We are putting out so much carbon dioxide, we are depleteing our oil reserves, we are driving ourselves into the ground dude.
Dude, overpopulation is an Issue even and especially when we take capitalism away. The rate at which our population grows is constantly increasing, and it might not be aproblem in 50 years, but in a houndred or two houndred years there won't be enough space on the planet for plantations.
And that's only where the problem starts becouse at that time population increase rate will be even higher.
Over harvest is not a bad thing if we have better food distribution, especially to third world countries. We can also use honey pots for fertilization - which is better than chemicals and dumping recently dead material on the soil (as that can cause bacterial infection - see E. coli in crops). The problem is that corps have forgotten their original purpose - through charters - to provide for the people and protect the environment. They got rid of the charters in favor of profits.
@CrudOMatic Harvesting of the ocean for example aint bad, it even stimulate more growth. But "over" harvesting must be bad when it is already defined as overharvest, and that occurs.
@CrudOMatic We can do alot of things to support the population that exist. But People wont start eating vegetables instead of beaf not make any change at all until they must. The population will collaps alot of processes in nature. Hypotethicly regulations of laws could change peoples behavior but these nations wont change nothing either until to much damage is done,
We cant destroy mother nature, everything will regenerate and new species will evolve over the next billion years. The thing is that the damage we create will damage the ecosystem there are no turning back. The services that nature make for humans are of great economic importance as well, all the oceans, swamps,rivers and rain provide humans with services and we destroy them. Its not economical. And also the population we have today is sustained through fertilizers/chemicals/over harvest etc.
I'm another who disagrees. I'm in a slightly bigger city. I'm getting fucking crowded here. These nuts are around every corner out to get us. Teaching 3rd world countries to stop popping out too many babies? How bout EVERYWHERE? This may be a selfish view on my part, but I'm not the one making more babies. Okay, we've been smart enough to produce too much food an shitty enough that's not shared. What about our land? Our space? When they're creeping into my front yard, I know there's a problem.
@burrexkeefAGAIN One more time...I know others are withering away from starvation. That's terrible. Yes, we (Or, the ones who control these matters), the ones with the food just aren't sharing. We're the ones reproducing too much. There's the problem. I'm have too much food. I'm not making babies. Come take some of it, so the ones starving can make more babies that won't die and add to the problem. No, I don't want them to starve, but you can't tell me ALL of this isn't a real problem.
Feed the people and they multiply. Our ability to feed the world is artificially based on fossil fuels, thus more feeding, then more pollution, then more people, until the point starvation, pollution, or climate starts killing off people. I think there are more humane practices i.e. birth control, even if it means to the point of population reduction or control as in China. We are smarter than let go and let nature devourer. (One dead body at the base of every new tree sapling is not how.)
@TheLOSTFanatic What he says is true. There is enough food to feed the population of the world, even at 7 billion, as well as technologies to distribute it. Those in politics, or "into politics" on a sophisticated level, as you are claiming to be, have managed to create or sympathize with a world situation that is ABSURD on a level that a 13 year old could understand. This is his point. I am sure Cody will be ok without your subscription.
That's what overpopulation is. Overpopulation would be running out of resources and space, and people would starve and be uncomfortable and leave shittier lives. That "solution" to overpopulation that you say is the problem of Overpopulation. Cause some people care about people starving to death.
@darbone I wish there was a global one-child-policy. I understand what you are saying, but if everyone had only one, the world would be a better place. I will allow myself one, I justify it by saying to myself that I'm a smart, creative, goodlooking dude, good dna, I generally stay away from hard drugs and I consider myself mentally stable/stable to raise a child. I'm surprised this is not a big issue in mainstream media.
@vmorgun The U.S. grows more food than our population can eat each year. Corporations cold store and pump full of preservatives the majority of the vegetables/fruits so they can get somewhat of a return on their investments and not have to trash overstock. Throwing away product is bad business.
If instead, agro corps were given a tax break for shipping the excess food overseas - especially to Africa - we WOULD solve world hunger issues. The Earth has PLENTY of space for humans - do the math.
@CrudOMatic Ok, corporations send food to Africa. It sounds like you have good intentions. Their local farmers, fishermen etc. loose jobs because they cannot compete with such free/cheap food. Lack of local jobs, crime goes up even higher. There is a population boom in Africa as a result of so much free food (education is low, contraceptives not readily available). In the years to come our "never-ending food" is now limited supply, population grew much bigger. Is this math?
@vmorgun I think what Cody is trying to say is if we were overpopulating and exceeded our carrying capacity, then our resources couldn't sustain us and many of us would die out bringing the population back down to a sustainable level. Overpopulation is a real issue but if it came to light then nature would do its job and snuff many of us out. Is this humane? It doesn't matter because it's an act of nature and humans have only so much control.
@Kilby6969 I understand that we humans can only have so much we can control, we have many limits. That is a healthy way of looking at the world, its realistic. I don not agree that we should just leave it to nature to control our population. Humane way does matter. One example: population is growing, so is poverty, the poor are looking for cheap land to live(survive?) on. Cheap land is below sea level and there is a danger of flooding. But our numbers are high, we need land. Hurricane Katrina :(
@vmorgun Putting a cap on the number of children being born isn't very humane either though, right? Just look at China and their policies. I agree there is great corruption in capatalism which is why many are poor to begin with. I suggest taking part in your local Occupy Wallstreet protest if your city/town has one. That's what I've been doing to voice my opinions on poverty throughout our nation and the rest of the world.
@Kilby6969 Putting a cap on the number of children is humane if you look at the alternatives: Children dying of hunger, in a conflict over resources, natural disaster if living on land that is unsafe for humans or disease. I think we will soon see one-child-policy in India and other countries. I think that overall the "occupy" protests are a positive message, I will check it out. Overpopulation is linked to poverty my friend. Overpopulation is the biggest ally of poverty.
@vmorgun Well you can't really limit a human beings need to reproduce and have it be humane. Accidents happen, what if a couple is pregnant with a second child? What would happen to this child? You can't force abortion..not that I'm pro-life. I think capitalism is the real killer of poverty in first world and 3rd world countries as we exploit third world countries. Not all third world countries were third world. And yes the occupy protests are pretty great.
@Kilby6969 The need to reproduce (instinct, drive, urge) does not need to bee limited, a good libido is a healthy sign in animals (including humans). Sex is good. The "accidents" can be fixed via early abortions, or giving one-childers lower taxes and other rewards etc. there are many options and our ever-evolving legal system would step in and balance it out. If you think such solutions are a bit extreme, just wait a few decades and they will seem more and more normal.
@Kilby6969 also: Capitalism is a "phase" in our evolution as society, but realistically speaking the monetary system will be with us for a while. We can't just tare down capitalism and have no stable system to replace it with. I hope "occupy" protests have an affect on our government to crack down on corruption. Overpopulation will always be one of the root causes of poverty. It is a very simple fact. I am not saying it is the only issue, but it is one of the root causes.
@vmorgun I'm not saying completely dismantle capitalism, I'm just saying it needs some fine tuning. I think you'll find that the world can sustain an abundence of people. In Canada for instance, we only have a population of 5 people per square kilometre while China is crammed. I don't call this overpopulation I call this stupidly cramming people behind invisible boarders. It takes money to migrate.
@Kilby6969 I believe that we as humans should not only survive, but truly live. Quality organic produce for everyone, quality housing and land, good ecology, large areas of our planet for animals to roam free, safe housing areas (no dangers of flood or under a fucking volcano etc) enough clean water for every individual etc Population is ONLY going up. I can not put it in any terms that are more simple. I literally can't believe it is so hard to understand. Where do you want to migrate, mars?
@vmorgun Lol, this is my point. Nature would step in and off many until we no longer exceeded the carrying capacity. We wouldn't stand a chance to overpopulate to the point of having to consider moving planets. Natural selection is alive and well and prevents overpopulation. I understand overpopulation is an issue..but nature just wouldn't allow it to go too far. If you listened to Codys video, farmers alone produce enough to feed everyone and I agree with that.
@vmorgun Also the govt puts restraints on our farmers and the good quality organic food they produce as you describe. They also make it almost impossible to migrate and spread out. I'm not stupid I know overpopulation is scary because I know how nature would solve that issue..brutally. But I don't think were at that point. There's a lot of war going on right now especially in the east that accounts for many of the worlds pop. This, sadly may trigger a larger war and kill off many.
@Kilby6969 Why let things go to the state that nature has to step in? That means our lives would be unbelievably shitty for a long time until many humans die. That is fucked up. Humane global birth control would be a way for our civilization to adapt, so in a way it is natural selection. The is 1 BILLION that is hungry and if you think about the shitty reality - feeding them will create even more people because people breed like it's a hobby. Our planet is so tiny it's pathetic.
@Kilby6969 Sadly war is one of the ways this issue was handled. a)War b)Famine c)Disease d)Natural Disaster. We simply can not afford a "larger war" - with modern technology we can destroy the atmosphere and/or pollute/poison the planet so bad that it would not be able to support human life for thousands+ of years. This is why global population control (humane; birth control etc) would actually lower the need and number of conflicts, most conflicts are over resources directly of indirectly.
@vmorgun Hey I'm not saying war is a good thing. I agree with a lot of what you're saying but unfortunately with the corruption throughout the world, I'm not talking about what should be but rather what is. It;s a sad world and it needs changing but my point to all of this is that corruption of the world is already putting a cap on population because if you look in the inner city there ARE ppl starving to death and in third world countries they ARE starving to death. to be continued..
@vmorgun The reason these people are living in poverty and starving is not because of overpopulation as that has yet to become a major issue..it is a major issue just not right now. Many people are dying out because of starvation already and this has soely to do with our society and the way our governments exploit third world countries ei. sweat shops. So I don't see overpopulation as being an issue when there are so many things that currently put a check on it right now from war to poverty.
@vmorgun Ps. I feel as though I'm spamming this video so if you'd like to continue this conversation we could do it over private msging and oh shit..I just realized I'm replying to you via my girlfriends youtube. My bad.
@HaploidCell There will always be war because the worlds resources are spread out very unevenly across its surface, so there will always be people better off than others. Tell your leftie friend that :-P
@HaploidCell Wow, you just articulated quite methodically an uninformed and quite viciously racist point of view. Are we the educated and intelligent society when we rationalize illegal wars overseas that result in hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths? BELIEVE ME when i tell you that our country has killed many, many, many more innocent people than the suicide bombers have. Where, really, does the intelligence deficit reside?
Signed,
A Proud Lefty (prouder than ever when i read what you say
Are you saying that because we killed more people that suicide bombers are ok? or legitimised?
Naw. You cant be.
Look at it this way:
Who is the more educated, more intelligent country?
The country with the high-tech gear and the trained soldiers - or the country that sends goatherders with bombs strapped to them who got all their combat experience in a weekend seminar?
And basically:
You attack the legitimacy of the war - whereas I talked about the REALISM of the war.
hey i like your videos but American is not the only problem American is at fault for some of it but look at the chain we just gave them money to help there people but we own them money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well i see overpopulation as an issue for the the environment, the more people we have the more carbon goes into the atmosphere, i still don't see it as an issue as much as people make it up to be. Also i don't see overpopulation as a bad thing, however the high population of stupid people is much more relevant, if everyone was smart no one would complain about overpopulation
To be honest I think guys like Cody tend to agree with Socialist ideas because they really are lazy, want to live off the dole, and don't want to work hard. Some people think food and healthcare should be free whether they work at all or not. They're all like, "Everyone Together Man".. Which sounds great in theory, but people like that aren't going to do they're part, they won't pick fruit on a farm, or wait tables, drive a taxi, then they'll bitch that there is no jobs and no healthcare, lol
@DarkFantasyvids Oh god, here's that broken record: People who want socialism just don't want to work. It's such a load of horse ____ and is the criticism of lazy minds with no historical perspective. The tenets of socialism are geared around protecting the population of a society from CORPORATE MANIPULATION (which is, without doubt, as much a counter-power to democracy as a medieval monarchy). In both cases, the deliberate and systematic misinforming of the greater population STEALS power
@Azure807 Your ASSuming a lot of things about my position. I don't think all people who agree with socialism or some socialism are just lazy and don't want to work, but guys like Cody Weber and The Amazing Atheist? C'mon now, lets be real about it, they don't really wanna work. They're not gonna pick the fruit.
@Azure807 I want a single payer healthcare system. It doesn't change the fact that there really is people out there who I think agree with socialism because they're lazy and want to live off the dole. Some people, yeah they just want justice and fairness and aren't super lazy. But I'm just being real about it, that element is definitely there.
Another thing is, Yeah there is food now, but that can change if we use up the resources to fast and don't give them a chance to replinish themselves. What about Deforestation, Over - fishing.. We as a species and the earth itself would clearly be better off with a lower population.
"Apes - fur and a gross sense of entitlement" Not everyone in the world is a youtube ebegging vlogger or something like that ya know.. ;-p But seriously, Spending all that money on feeding the entire world with no profit sounds like a really stupid idea for a lot of reasons. "Mother nature would be like Lorana Bobbit" It is, Mother nature is doing all kinds of shit to fuck us up, Tsunamis, cancer, I think it's pretty obvious Mother nature IS telling us that she's at full capacaty now
@DarkFantasyvids It's not people but unchecked corporate industry that is destroying the planet.
Feeding the world without making a profit is a bad idea to you , huh? That's insane and quite sad. Somehow spending billions and billions on defense is a good investment, hmm? Meanwhile, our military struggles to deal with countries that have not even a fraction of the military "might" that we possess. THIS is somehow sound investing. Unusual point of view.
@Azure807 I think that us alone trying to feed the world without making a profit is a silly idea, that's what I think. I also think spending trillions on defense is a really bad idea, I'm not a neo-con or pro military industrial complex at all.I think the money should be spent on some defense, some healthcare for our own citizens, investments in developing industries,all kinds of things, not just giving our money/labor away trying to feed the world, whos gonna pick the fruit, Cody Weber? lol.
@Azure807 The idea that America is going to feed the world and be some socialist hippy Utopia just seems a little silly to me, like, simple; take the money that we spend on the military and feed the whole world with it!.. It's just a silly fantasy.
@Azure807 The government needs to invest in things that are going to have some multiplier effects on the economy. The internet was orignally created by DARPA, (Darpa net). That obviously had a multiplier effect, so will investments in things like stem cell research and other things like that. Just giving money away feeding third world countries doesn't create anything sustainable, if they're dependent on the rations it actually hurts the problem, it creates a bigger one, a bigger dependency.
It isn't just food, it's resources in general. Water, metals, fuels, fabrics, wood, whatever. Resources are scarce, and by the nature of exponential growth, by the time we notice we're going to hit a brick wall, we're already throttling at top speed and it's far too late. Population crashes can happen, don't discredit it only because we haven't seen one yet.
every way you look at the "overpopulation" scenario looks bad and heading to catastrophic results .Just stop and think what will happen in 10 years ,ok not so bad what about in 20 years still kind of ok what about in 50 years ,ok now we might have a slight problem but lets take it a notch higher . What about in 100 years ?? CAN YOU SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO WORLD POPULATION IN 100 YEARS ? .People claiming approval to overpopulation actually tend to not rationalize and think outside the box.

BUT the world population is set to grow to 9 billion by 2045–2050. and we are using up every square inch of highly fertile land and a lot of the mediocre land as well. if some experts are to be believed to keep up the current rate of consumption we would need 1.5 earths this is because farmland has to be left for a while not to over tax it etc etc so we are ALREADY in the shitter unless we can get a decent increase in world productivity.
Etheoma 3 weeks ago in playlist Rants!
And yes there is enough food to sustain everyone, but comfortably? if the population of the world were to eat/drink as much and the same types of foods as average american we would need 4.71 times more food than the world is currently producing we could with a concerted effort increase the worlds food production by 3x maybe and that is a rather generous estimate because we are using up nearly every square mile of farmable land already that 3x in food would have to come from efficiency and tech
Etheoma 3 weeks ago in playlist Rants!
Overpopulation ita a real fact , the damage on nature its a real fact , the most we consume , the most damage to nature , the nature cant handle too many people. Instruct yourself , natural resources are finite , and contamination and the expansion of the cities around the world is a BIG problem , the natural spaces are being reduced very fast , extincion of species are a real fact , we are destroying our own planet.

The problem isn't food. The problem is if everyone wants to live like we do in the US, UK, etc... well, we're gonna run out of energy. So by the time countries like China, India, and Indonesia try to acquire all the same shit we do it will become too expensive.

Obviously China's one child policy, forced abortions and not to mention the killing rooms (rooms where they put children that are up for adoption in to starve them) all mean nothing, and the mass sterilizations in India in the 70's also means nothing, even though they are the two largest populations on the Earth, sorry Cody but this video is fucking stupid, you also completely ignored other resources, land mass, etc. I usually like your videos but this one is pretty stupid.

Are you using those things to disprove what he's saying? What I got from this is that food is all around us, and if corporations helped the starving then, it would... help the starving. What really bothered you?
VictoryMutoh 3 months ago
@VictoryMutoh What bothered me as how callously Cody can say overpopulation is ludicrous when we (as human beings) have problems like the ones I've mentioned due to overpopulation, but I agree that if corporations would spend more time giving out food and helping education a lot of the poorer countries would help quell these problems.
Jt1Torso1Winabego 3 months ago
@Jt1Torso1Winabego I agree, his approach was very lackadaisical. He didn't support anything. I can support his claim by explaining how over 98% of all companies toss out tons of unused food, & bleach it so the homeless can't eat it. For China & India, I agree that a food shortage was a contributor to the rules, however, they were also controlling a person-to-job ratio. Now China has relaxed those laws since 2003 when they gained many warehouse jobs from the U.S. Job ratio is the U.S. downfall.
VictoryMutoh 3 months ago
Overpopulation is real. Just like with deer, our population is getting too dense and eventually a disease will beat our scientists and kill off enough of us to re balance the system. Its not just an issue of food, but the resources we are burning through that arent renewable and the animal populations vital to our ecosystem we are killing off. If we changed our system which we will be forced to eventually we could do much better.

So Yes, our earth can only be populated by so many people, but right now we can solve the world's hunger problem and most of its water shortage. There is just no profit incentive.

Everybody in the world could eat grits, maybe.

Over harvest is not a bad thing if we have better food distribution, especially to third world countries. We can also use honey pots for fertilization - which is better than chemicals and dumping recently dead material on the soil (as that can cause bacterial infection - see E. coli in crops). The problem is that corps have forgotten their original purpose - through charters - to provide for the people and protect the environment. They got rid of the charters in favor of profits.

Feed the people and they multiply. Our ability to feed the world is artificially based on fossil fuels, thus more feeding, then more pollution, then more people, until the point starvation, pollution, or climate starts killing off people. I think there are more humane practices i.e. birth control, even if it means to the point of population reduction or control as in China. We are smarter than let go and let nature devourer.

@vmorgun The U.S. grows more food than our population can eat each year. Corporations cold store and pump full of preservatives the majority of the vegetables/fruits so they can get somewhat of a return on their investments and not have to trash overstock. Throwing away product is bad business.
If instead, agro corps were given a tax break for shipping the excess food overseas - especially to Africa - we WOULD solve world hunger issues. The Earth has PLENTY of space for humans - do the math.
CrudOMatic 3 months ago
@CrudOMatic Ok, corporations send food to Africa. It sounds like you have good intentions. Their local farmers, fishermen etc. loose jobs because they cannot compete with such free/cheap food. Lack of local jobs, crime goes up even higher. There is a population boom in Africa as a result of so much free food (education is low, contraceptives not readily available). In the years to come our "never-ending food" is now limited supply, population grew much bigger. Is this math?

@vmorgun I think what Cody is trying to say is if we were overpopulating and exceeded our carrying capacity, then our resources couldn't sustain us and many of us would die out bringing the population back down to a sustainable level.

@Kilby6969 Putting a cap on the number of children is humane if you look at the alternatives: Children dying of hunger, in a conflict over resources, natural disaster if living on land that is unsafe for humans or disease.

well i see overpopulation as an issue for the the environment, the more people we have the more carbon goes into the atmosphere, i still don't see it as an issue as much as people make it up to be. Also i don't see overpopulation as a bad thing, however the high population of stupid people is much more relevant, if everyone was smart no one would complain about overpopulation

Read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. It's not religious. It contains the answers to such things as overpopulation.

To be honest I think guys like Cody tend to agree with Socialist ideas because they really are lazy, want to live off the dole, and don't want to work hard. Some people think food and healthcare should be free whether they work at all or not. They're all like, "Everyone Together Man".. Which sounds great in theory, but people like that aren't going to do they're part, they won't pick fruit on a farm, or wait tables, drive a taxi, then they'll bitch that there is no jobs and no healthcare, lol

@DarkFantasyvids Oh god, here's that broken record: People who want socialism just don't want to work. It's such a load of horse ____ and is the criticism of lazy minds with no historical perspective. The tenets of socialism are geared around protecting the population of a society from CORPORATE MANIPULATION (which is, without doubt, as much a counter-power to democracy as a medieval monarchy). In both cases, the deliberate and systematic misinforming of the greater population STEALS power

@Azure807 Your ASSuming a lot of things about my position. I don't think all people who agree with socialism or some socialism are just lazy and don't want to work, but guys like Cody Weber and The Amazing Atheist? C'mon now, lets be real about it, they don't really wanna work. They're not gonna pick the fruit.

@Azure807 I want a single payer healthcare system. It doesn't change the fact that there really is people out there who I think agree with socialism because they're lazy and want to live off the dole. Some people, yeah they just want justice and fairness and aren't super lazy. But I'm just being real about it, that element is definitely there.

Another thing is, Yeah there is food now, but that can change if we use up the resources to fast and don't give them a chance to replinish themselves. What about Deforestation, Over - fishing.. We as a species and the earth itself would clearly be better off with a lower population.

"Apes - fur and a gross sense of entitlement" Not everyone in the world is a youtube ebegging vlogger or something like that ya know.. ;-p But seriously, Spending all that money on feeding the entire world with no profit sounds like a really stupid idea for a lot of reasons. "Mother nature would be like Lorana Bobbit" It is, Mother nature is doing all kinds of shit to fuck us up, Tsunamis, cancer, I think it's pretty obvious Mother nature IS telling us that she's at full capacaty now

@DarkFantasyvids It's not people but unchecked corporate industry that is destroying the planet.
Feeding the world without making a profit is a bad idea to you , huh? That's insane and quite sad. Somehow spending billions and billions on defense is a good investment, hmm? Meanwhile, our military struggles to deal with countries that have not even a fraction of the military "might" that we possess. THIS is somehow sound investing. Unusual point of view.

@Azure807 I think that us alone trying to feed the world without making a profit is a silly idea, that's what I think. I also think spending trillions on defense is a really bad idea, I'm not a neo-con or pro military industrial complex at all.I think the money should be spent on some defense, some healthcare for our own citizens, investments in developing industries,all kinds of things, not just giving our money/labor away trying to feed the world, whos gonna pick the fruit, Cody Weber? lol.

@Azure807 The idea that America is going to feed the world and be some socialist hippy Utopia just seems a little silly to me, like, simple; take the money that we spend on the military and feed the whole world with it!.. It's just a silly fantasy.

@Azure807 The government needs to invest in things that are going to have some multiplier effects on the economy. The internet was orignally created by DARPA, (Darpa net). That obviously had a multiplier effect, so will investments in things like stem cell research and other things like that. Just giving money away feeding third world countries doesn't create anything sustainable, if they're dependent on the rations it actually hurts the problem, it creates a bigger one, a bigger dependency.

It isn't just food, it's resources in general. Water, metals, fuels, fabrics, wood, whatever. Resources are scarce, and by the nature of exponential growth, by the time we notice we're going to hit a brick wall, we're already throttling at top speed and it's far too late. Population crashes can happen, don't discredit it only because we haven't seen one yet.
