China is Rapidly Aging & Dying | Steven Mosher, President, Population Research Institute | Ep 140

[@BenjaminBowmanlive]

“And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭1:22‬ ‭KJV‬‬ We are so utterly and hopelessly blind without the gospel of Jesus Christ. Humanity is doomed to repeat its folly over and over again. Repent and come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. He is the only way out. All of life is under the rule of King Jesus.

I wish more people understood these points about aging populations! You should cut this into a few shorter clips to share more easily!

[@barneyleseven2854]

The US don’t have a population problem. Even if the US did have a population problem, it can always just import people. Fortunately people still wanna come to the US.

@@barneyleseven2854 A big issue in this matter regarding China is that China is extremely racist and xenophobic. My buddy moved there to teach english 8 years ago and had to endure daily taunts because he was white. This culminated in him being attacked by Chinese men with machetes and beer bottles. They tried to kill him because he was white. It's a "funny" meme on most social media where Chinese americans will straight up say that if they ever dated a white person (or anybody not asian), their parents would disown them.

I think is best people listen to whole thing to better understand the points being made

Fascinating and frightening.

Listening 4:50 minutes into the video: Yes, this happend in China. I remember talking to chinese post-graduate students in Sweden in the early years of the 90s and they told me about forced abortions even forced abortions of women 8 months pregnant. It is true, not a scary tale

[@kellybyrne7844]

So sad

[@acfatemi]

@@kellybyrne7844 yes. Considering that the current chinese goverment tax all companies in their country that do business abroad and use an exact proportion of the export income from each country to influence the political system there, we certainly should be scared! (Cannot remember the name of the academic that explained this policy in an interwiev about China and international politics)

[@pattysandiego]

I agree with everything except the anti-russia statements the situation over there is very complex and Ukraine is a very corrupt country even their own citizens were protesting energy prices recently.

[@JR-yb8jp]

Russia is corrupt too isn’t it? Does it have the right to murder women and children in Ukraine?

[@Happytown7523]

Indeed, Putin has also done marvelous things for the people of Russia by reducing poverty by 50% in his first 8 years of presidency by bringing industry back to the country. Russians live under a better quality of life thanks to him

We don't have to worry about running out of land. There are multiple communities that live on water. I imagine putting hydroponic farms on air craft carriers. Educating girls also decreases birth rates.

[@Cuauhtlatoac]

Hi, I wanted to ask Population Research Institute and Students for Life representatives if they are familiar with the writings of Luis Garcia Pimentel Cusi (from Opus Dei). I knew this author and translated to english his book "History of the Family" and would like to share it with you

Why We Do Need So Many People in the World At the start of the 20th century, the world population was roughly two billion people. Today, it is roughly eight billion. Of those eight billion, most are poor, and over a billion people are hungry to the point of starvation. Providing for so many people at a decent level seems too formidable a task for Earth. Moreover, each day, more bots, robots, and automatic machines are replacing human jobs. Humanity is producing enough to provide for everyone, so the question is why we need so many people. Would Earth, and humanity, not be better off if we were only four billion, for example? The truth is that we wouldn’t be better off; we would be much worse off. There is a good reason for the exponential growth in humanity’s population over the past century or so. When we look at people, we see faces and bodies, human beings, and nothing more. But the truth is much more complicated and intricate than that. Try to imagine any animal without relating it to its environment, and you will realize that it is a lost cause. The shape, color, behavior, size, longevity, and every other aspect of its existence derives from the environment where it exists. Animals are not isolated from their environment; they rely on it, follow its laws, and at the same time make up the environment that sustains them and of which they are a part. Humans, too, make up a system. We think of ourselves as isolated individuals, but we are actually parts of a global human society. We influence it, it influences us, and almost everything that is true for the animal kingdom is true for us. There are only two differences between animals and people, though they are fundamental differences. The first is that people are inherently mean and selfish, while animals are not. The second is that our desires grow and intensify, while those of animals remain largely the same. While we want more money and power the more we have of them, animals settle for what they have once they have had their fill. Worse yet, from generation to generation, we are becoming more greedy, domineering, and narcissistic. Conversely, animals’ “aspirations” do not change from generation to generation: Give them enough grass, or enough game, and they are happy campers. The reason why our desires grow while those of animals remain the same is that an increased desire makes us accelerate our development. Eventually, humans are not intended to perceive only the physical existence, but to penetrate through it and perceive the connectedness and interdependence among all of us not only intellectually, as I am explaining it here, but in the senses, just as we perceive the physical world, if not more so. Our constant desire to search, explore, discover, and learn stems from our aspiration to know the deepest levels of reality. That knowledge is the sole prerogative of humans since only people develop such profound desires. As our desires grow, we must learn to direct them toward discovering the purpose and structure of life. New desires first appear on the crassest level, and we must cultivate them, raise them to the level where they enhance our perception of reality. Because these desires are so intense, we need more people to “share the load.” As just said, although we feel isolated, we are in fact one system. Everything we think is ours is actually part of the system of humanity and all of humanity shares it. Therefore, our desires are also not personal, even though they feel as such. Every time we elevate one desire from the corporeal level to the higher levels of perception, we influence all of humanity. And every time a person dies, the burden of elevating our common desire grows heavier on all of us. This is why the life of every person is precious. It determines the pace of advancement of all of humanity. If we realized how deeply we are connected, and what harm we cause by mistreating other people, if we felt it as it really is-that we are torturing ourselves-we would not dare mistreat each other or leave one person uncared for.

Another problem is young women are unable to conceive

[@cynthiajones4332]

Just in case you haven't heard... God so loved the world He gave His son Jesus that whoever believes in Jesus will have everlasting life. John 3:16 Please believe and repent from your sin today, even after the rapture you can be saved. Please think about it dont be left behind. Love Y'all

How do we prevent populations from aging and dying? Answer: Cure Aging.

[@catsthatsmokemeth]

If that were possible. What would we do about the eventual issue of overpopulation?

[@amperro]

@@catsthatsmokemeth Population growth is driven far more by fertility than by longevity. The first is exponential, the second is linear.

[@LovingYouAll316]

If you really want to solve the population problem. Spread Catholicism. We make babies.
