Are you married ?? Do you have kids?

A question: How sure are we in the widely touted numbers of global population? We hear the 7B number quite a bit, but it seems that every country and reporting body has a vested interest in inflating their numbers.

For one, inflating the numbers helps each country with its debt perception....secondly their it helps with their defense perception.

Would it surprise anyone if that 7B number was vastly off?

Will it every shrink? As developed countries lose people, undeveloped ones have more kids. Hasnt that always been the cycle?

Great! Time to increase your testosterone 💪 and let not these numbers fall!

not in a few decade the global population is expected to continue growing for a few decades, the rate of growth is slowing, and some projections suggest that it could begin to decline later in this century.

Okay but in order for babies to reach maturity, requires the sacrifice of many able-bodied adults, so, just birthing babies, does not create an actual mature human, people forget the amount of calories, time, effort, and energy, that goes into childrearing

Personally, I believe that it depends on the place or country, the figures are manipulated to suit their convenience. If you ask me, a real example was what happened in the pandemic. All countries and governments published figures and higher figures than they systematically did. It was to cause terror at all levels of society.. and here we must also take into account that while in Europe people do not want children.. however they have 3 dogs 🤦.. on the side here in South America the percentage of mothers teenagers and single girls is galloping upwards... and those same girls end up having 2 or 3 more children... that's where the count can go... and the difference in culture of thought between continents is clear... and I doubt that at some point there will begin to be fewer people in the world... if an atomic bomb is dropped between these countries at war, without a doubt that would reduce it...

It's time for everyone to have 10 children!

It won’t. This is a pendulum that when put in motion once, never stops. Unless of course we have some black swan event like nuclear war or global true pandemic.
