Dude prior to the 1800’s you could ask 10 historians watching the same battle how many soldiers fought on the field and their numbers would vary by a factor of 20. There is no way there is a continuous record of how many people there are in the world that is in any way exact or completely accurate. There are models that use trend lines and that’s the best we’ll ever have.

The massive increases in population come from reduced infant mortality in developing countries. People needed a raft of children A) as social security and B) because half of them wouldn’t make it to 5 years old. Usually right around the time a country gets the infant mortality rate down, the children become a liability, not a resource to the parents. As soon as people in an area figure that out, birth rate plummets.

Which brings me back to my original point that probably started a lot of this: governments and big business will not allow the number of consumers and workers to drop. Our current corporatist pyramid scheme economy will not be able to support itself if that happens. Hence my comment about incentivized births.

Infant mortality rate in the next 50 years will continue to drop. The world average is 6 times higher than the US today. Considering the US is only 4% of the world population, it's going to boom

And worldwide life expectancy will continue to increase

70% of the world wide population lives in a place considered to be 3rd world. Death, disease, lack of heath care, clean water, sewage, etc

This whole discussion is kind of pointless anyways. Apparently when football season is over, we have nothing to talk about.

Which part specifically. Give me your stupid analysis

The population apparently got cut down to as few as 3,000 people after a volcano popped off awhile back.

The plague wasn't in the 1200's either.

Not sure you should be calling anyone's analysis stupid when your post started with "the population has increased every year" and followed it with "there was years where it declined."

It was in the 1300s, but despite killing between 75 and 200 million and 30-50% of the European population.. the humans still managed to fuck and grow the population

A volcano erupuption is just what this planet needs. As Bill Burr put it, if we scale the population back to 3,000, we could all go to the Super Bowl

I am confident that herdbot has never been as wrong about anything as this population debate, and that's saying something.

It's the off season. When basketball is done, expect more shit like this until spring ball. Then we can get back to the "normal."

Just happy we haven’t started the Covid crap back up yet

Interesting local take on regional higher-ed demographic trends
NDSU mentioned more than once
Goldy looks to stop the outflow and NDSU looks to have an answer

That is an interesting take.

I wonder what's causing the projected decline of HS graduates beginning after 2026?

More kids dropping out of HS and focusing on crypto and options?

People haven't been keeping up with their fucking to increase the population since 2008?

Does this compute for Herdbot?
