Organ farming is certainly a real possibility, but I think that it requires a quality of human capital welfare to ensure a high quality animal product. It doesn’t work with poor nutrition, pollution, various diseases damaging the merchandise. There was an nice SciFi movie about this: The Island (2005).

Workers need to learn about what a birth strike is.

You’re in c/degrowth. Retirement from economic growth “generating” “passive income” isn’t a feature.

The article is pretty good, but you need to have a bunch of context to understand what it’s pointing out.

I’ve been noticing the Social Darwinism plans for a while. The traditional pronatalist policy is indeed that of “quantity”, specifically, a high quantity of human capital with high turnover - for labor and war. The human capital, you, need to understand that this means:

• women are domestic baby factories (“traditional family”)
• men are (wage?) slaves, worked to death with only enough time to sleep and reproduce
• huge infant mortality rates (this tends to increase fertility as people try to make spare children)
• huge childhood mortality rates
• large maternal mortality rate (guess why the chainsaw was invented)
• an abundance of orphans
• lower and lower life expectancy (retirement = death)

What I still don’t understand is why these pronatalist types want so much human capital when they have so much technology to replace humans, especially now. It’s a weird contradiction in the TESCREAL ideologues. If anyone knows, let me know.

Here’s a good podcast to get a grip on this very broad topic: the overshoot podcast.

Nobody knows human nature for sure aside from the fact that we’re very social and very adaptive thanks to that. Our species is about 300k years old, it would be silly to take a tiny bit of that, the last 6k or 10k as an adequate sample size.
