Cannot stop the moochers luckily there is so many people now there would not be any really work for them to do anyway. In the next few decades many jobs will be automated, truckers better be wary of driver-less cars and such. So we could design a society were the majority of people can live with decent comfort and never really work. Of course, I am sure there is a group of people who do not like that idea. See if people are busy fighting for their survival they do not have time to think about the world around them.

Edited by MysticalSnurtle: 1/31/2016 1:43:02 AMI guess its true, people don't seem to notice their surroundings when they're stuck in a rat race, or even just trying to make ends meet; they'll have more free time to do as they please. Tbh though I doubt people would be truly happy on that system, not to mention we'll still eventually run out of planetary resources. In my honest opinion the only way to truly solve everything is if we do as China is doing. Implement a 1 child per couple policy (if your child dies you can have another. However if foul play is involved you would be punished severely). Once the world hits a nice pop. range we could then oscillate from having 2-3 kids and then back down to 1 to make sure we don't overpopulate the earth. In that system everyone can still have meaningful work and contribute in some small way if they so wish. We don't have to be in a system where people cannot find work. As long as people aren't being horribly abused by their work (like many are now) then I don't think it would be a negative thing at all. EDIT: true you can't stop moochers, but you can make it really attractive for them not to be :P

I always felt that the earth was getting too crowded and hoped we could slow growth at least. I feel 10 billion could be a comfortable number but we may pass that before this century is out. I think 1 child may be harsh for certain areas of the planet that already are experiencing birth rate declines like Europe and North America. Maybe base it off the existing population per land area or GDP per capita something like that. If you have room for more people and you can feed and employ more people you can have more people.

I agree, the birth restriction ultimately needs to be done so that it matches what earth can handle. If earth can handle it then its ok to have x amount of children. Yea if a country's pop. is falling then the 1 child rule wouldn't apply to them, unless their pop. is still more than the land can bear. Tbh seeing how our soil is already getting depleted and sea life is being wiped out to fill our bellies we're well over the point where there's just too many people on the earth. All in all it would be a tricky thing to implement without inadvertently discriminating against other regions of people.
