The “Mother Earth” mentality is a cultist movement that preaches the insane notion that humans are a disease upon the planet which we inhabit. Every single person who subscribes to this ludicrous mentality is, therefore, a disease. Yet, they are all HAPPY to be alive and even HAPPIER to tell others how they should live. Who decided that 2 kids is a magic number to save the planet? Is that a revelation from some sort of cultist prophecy?
If the “Mother Earth” logic is true, then “Mother Earth” will correct itself through famine, flood, fire, or whatever other cataclysmic event is required to reduce the population to such a point that we all reset and begin again.
Someone who believes in population control in order to satisfy “Mother Earth” would also be the same people who say “my body, my choice”. I recommend that everyone who believes in this lunacy of “Mother Earth” go ahead and donate your living bodies to science so we can study your mental disorder and maybe, just maybe, improve humanity.
Hmmmm ... I merely used "Mother Earth" in place of "the Earth" ... forgetting that many associate negatives with the Mother part. Personally, I despise all cults and the damage that they do in pushing folks towards false realities.
I'm always amazed by folks who think the quantity of humans living at any given time can approach infinity on a finite globe. I guess they assume that we can ad infinitum science-and/or-technology our away around -> enough energy, enough air, enough fresh water, enough food, enough places to hike, enough places to sleep, enough places to go to for entertainment, and enough etc..
Procreating at a "two kids" quantity I'm sure isn't the mathematically correct long term sustainable procreation rate per couple ... but it sure most likely isn't higher than around "two".
So ... it's acceptable for humanity to procreate at any rate beforehand ... because the eventual massive deaths from "Mother Earth correcting herself" will be natural, and hence OK. I think not.
On the contrary - "my body, my choice" thinking is exactly what makes folks think that they can have any number of off-spring that they want and somehow it will all work out in the end.
Remember what the goal is - a good quality of life for all things that wind up living on this finite globe - including us RV'ers who would like to find a camping spot without reservations or crowds or graffiti on the landscape. :)
