      “How things work” is that the entire planet has been way over carrying capacity for decades. Humans are driving the sixth mass extinction event the Earth has ever seen.

      We’re quickly running out of critical resources. Shortages exacerbated by increasing extreme weather from climate change are already destabilizing regions and causing conflict. The ongoing crisis in Syria was started by the worst drought the region has seen in almost a thousand years.

      Most of our adaptation efforts are insufficient, and it’s more common to simply not make any effort. There are way, way too many people on the planet, and decreasing the human population is one of the most rational and effective things we can do.

      If you’re looking for someone who’s reacting to all of this in a childish way, find a mirror.
