I don't want my DNA out there. I'm not heavy into eugenics but my genes are totally tainted. At least not until we learn how to properly treat mental illness. And I'm definitely not going to have my hand in ****ing up a child by raising it.

Let's say we could, what would the most feasible approach be?

Reward voluntary sterilization world wide. Culturally stigmatize pregnancy and child birth. Make heterosexual intercourse taboo. Admit there’s a problem.

my argument is that "overpopulation" is just an out when it comes to shifting towards sustainability
That’s like saying objecting to the private automobile is just an out when it comes to dealing with traffic. It’s as if you don’t understand that humans have to consume to survive. It’s ****ing shocking. What must be sustained? Human populations and the ecosystems we interact and share the world with. How could population be a non-issue when it comes to sustaining the population?

who is going to carry out this population control? the gov that would do best to kill itself?

My politics have nothing to do with overpopulation being the problem. I can’t change reality to fit my utopian vision. If there’s a problem that isn’t solved through anarchism it doesn’t go away just because I’m an anarchist.

Wouldn't that incentivization lead to sterilization on class lines pretty much 100% of the time?

I'd say that mandating sustainable agricultural practices and moving from fossil fuels to nuclear power is the most practical approach for reducing human impact on biodiversity without compromising on ethics. Sustainable forms of energy are good but typically take up a lot of land which would be counterintuitive for this problem. That's not to say that overpopulation isn't a big player in all of this of course.

I 100% agree. There’s two things we definitely need to do: 1) Limit the amount we consume as individuals and 2) limit the number of individuals doing the consuming.

Do you think this line of thinking is different than limiting cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, and unhealthy food to reduce health care costs and socioeconomic issues?
