The highlight for me is coming up with some weird pseudoscience justification for why it’s okay to hit your kids.

Two things can be true at once

yes. but “there are too many people” is just a tired white supremacist trope; there are not too many people out there. (the “non-white” is usually silent in these statements. this is also how some people can be both pro- and antinatalist.)

I don't care what color people are, and you have no idea what you're talking about.

We're using resources way faster than the planet can provide them, we're running out of land, we're driving both global climate change and the fifth ever mass extinction of life in the billions of years of Earth's existence.

There are way too many people on the planet, we passed carrying capacity decades ago.

those are extraordinary claims and i'm sure you can give pointers to peer-reviewed materials that back them up.

when you will be doing that, please consider which parts of earth you feel are overpopulated, what quantum of global resources are they getting and what should be done with it; please convey the results of your considerations back to us.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
