91.5% of men and 60.2% of women herein reported having consumed pornography in the past month.
I mean... Castrating 75% of the population would certainly put a damper on our rapid population growth, which would be good for everything except humans.
Human population growth is already plateaued and in the most developed nations it's already net negative. in order to sustain break-even (human) population levels, there must be no fewer than 2.1 offspring born, on average, per {gestational reproductive caste specimen}.
The human population of South Korea's last reported birthrate is 0.78.
In japan, 1.26.
In the united states, 1.66.
There will be so few able bodied humans extant to perform basic upkeep in 20 years that fundamental infrastructural systems will not JUST be crumbling to dust from sheer neglect as they are now, but actively self-destructing from sustained systemic cascade failure.
Hence, good for everything except humans. And the global population is still rising, though as you said developed countries are responsible for very little of that growth.
oh yeah no i was just agreeing with you on a 'yes-and' basis and stuff
the only reason any developed nation is population-positive right now is due to immigration -- and now that america is cracking down on that... i wonder if we'll actually see the population decrease soon.
There's a reason Trump wants to give medals to women who have multiple kids, dangle a one-off shiny bauble as if that'll offset the costs of having the kids.
Australia has been giving couples $5k for their first kid for the last couple of decades, hasn't helped and our birth rate has dropped to 1.50.
