World’s population hits 8 billion, UN says - BBC News

The world's population has hit eight billion, just 11 years after passing the seven-billion milestone, the United Nations has said.
After a big surge in the middle of the 20th Century, population growth is already slowing down.
It could take 15 years to reach nine billion and the UN doesn't expect to reach 10 billion until 2080.
It's hard to calculate the number of people in the world accurately, and the UN admits its sums could be out by a year or two.

Weird to think that when I was born In 2004 the world had about 6 Billion people on it, then in 2011 when about 6/7 it rose up to about 7 Billion. Now I'm 18 and it's 8 Billion. That's Insane!

[@Arcaryon]

The truth people don’t acknowledge enough is that we all want a bit of luxury. Things like decent room for ourselves, some amount of privacy, access to electricity, warm water, heating / cooling depending on the area ( sometimes both ) and some degree of technology, ranging from things like access to the internet to other means of private entertainment, access to transportation… We all want some degree of freedom in these choices. The result is that, the more people there are, the more recourses to we need to satisfy these core demands. So far, so basic. The more interesting question is how we could get to a point where all people got less children without people feeling threatened by the progress of their neighbours so we could actually gain more from developing new technology than just to satisfy the ever increasing core demands to fuel a growth that is ultimately meant to protect us from others who at the core, mostly want the same things. We all see robotics and AI on the rise, and here in the west we have already begun debating things like a potential universal basic income, with topics like immortality via progress in health related issues becoming potentially possible and seriously exploring ideas like the colonisation of other planets or even the entire galaxy and beyond, things that used to be unthinkable, seemingly almost beginning to come within our reach. Much of human civilization as we know it is slowly coming to a close and we are not even ready for the actual implications, let alone the consequences. On one hand, getting less children happens naturally when enough progress is made. On the other, it mainly happens because having any more becomes unaffordable due to the ever increasing costs. Our current reality is already sometimes quite dystopian and in my opinion, this will get a lot worse in some parts of the world before it gets better because the demand we already have is spawning so much competition, not just internationally but also internally, that the room for compromise and working on universal solutions is being suffocated.

I also look like a short, Hispanic girl but I'm not. I'm also in my early 40s so I've experienced prejudice and racism that was just very obvious. Plus I've had to deal with my mild to moderate narc mother. I mean, she could have been worse but she's very difficult to say the least and she has my disorder. My father was a computer programmer yet still had kids with her (four of them.) I mean, there's been many times he was really nice to me but he never got me the appropriate help when I was a kid except when I was 19 to see a therapist but he never was with me to see this person. He may have if I had asked harder but instead my narc/disordered mom went with me. Sorry, my life has been a disaster since day one and my mother is hard to deal with. Oh well, que sara sara as they say. Now my father is 77 with end stage prostate cancer and clear signs of parkinsons (i.e. many missing teeth, weak voice, needs a cane, can't remember/think much, eye issues...)

Having more people decreases the worth of the individual, increases internal competition for access to various recourses and also destabilises the climate as well as the environment. We all want at least electricity, clean water, heating&/cooling, some variety to our nutrition etc., access to the internet, some degree of privacy in the form of our own personal space etc. Not to mention transportation, various technological devices like smartphones etc. and healthcare when we become ill or grow old. Consequently, instead of of trying to grow mainly quantitatively, we should focus far more on the quality of our existence. With AI and robotics on the rise, many professions will die out forever and looking into a not so distant future, we will most likely begin to engineer our own genetics and use technology to merge our bodies with new technologies. It will be simple things at first but this kind of tendency can not be reversed, only slowed down. We already try to eliminate certain diseases based on similar research and hearing aids are widespread. It does not take much imagination to continue this same process to arrive at currently impossible results, The competition between our governments for our sake often drives us to peruse ever increasing quantitative growth but for us, the common citizens, this is ultimately a race to the bottom. The fewer of us there are, the higher our value for society. The strength of the common people was always in their numbers but we are slowly loosing this advantage to armed drones and other similar things. If we do not wish to risk tyranny we should therefore ensure that, before our power dwindles for good, our societies are ready for the challenges of tomorrow. You may not see it yet but we are all becoming increasingly replaceable. This could echo in paradise or doom and how it turns out all depends on every one of us.

It's funny. I noticed on the "world population clock" a couple of months ago that we were at 7,970,000,000 so I googled what the average population increase per day, which said 200,000 people, then using that number, I worked out that it wouldn't roll over until January 8th. Which seemed an awful long way away. So I did a bit more digging outside of Google and found a more reliable source that said 220,000 people per day. But that number still put the roll over close to the end of the year. Within a couple of weeks. But it looks like even the 220,000 per day average is wrong. I mean, I know an average doesn't mean that's exactly how much it will increase each day without fail. It just makes you think twice about even apparently credible information. But at the same time, world population growth/decay isn't a very easy thing to measure. Much of it has to do with statistics and mathematical models, such as the one I tried to produce to predict when the population would roll over. And although I'm no mathemagician (wink) I know my math was sound. It's the figures that are wonky because it's practically imossible to get a perfectly accurate figure for how many people are born/die each day without having people out there literally counting. Which I don't think most people would be very receptive of. But imagine the data!
