I have doubts about world population figures. Regions within Nigeria have incentives to inflate their numbers so that they get more seats in government. It's also seen as bad to have population declines, so governments over-report their population. Particularly with respect to central banks, they want to over-report the population because they want their per-capita printing to not look as bad.
Maybe we're already down to 6.5B or so. I'm not sure how you can verify such a big number like 8B.
Who gives a fuck
I tend to agree with you. It always seemed like rough guesstimations.
It’s fine. Humanity is eternal and with light. The robots being designed from companies like Tesla will do all the mundane, thoughtless, tedious, and simple work for us.
Now measure the productivity of all those people with a made up number like GDP.
Agreed. GDP is a totally fake number. A bunch of guys mining BTC are measure the same as government paying people to dig holes and fill them again so long as the fiat amount of each is the same.
Yes, how could they actually know this stuff?
Reminds me of when in covid, they had these absurdly high vaccination rates (where i live). To the extent that in some age bands there were more vaccinated people than the whole population.
It basically revealed that (in this case) they had grossly underestimated the population.
(This was also cynically used to make misleading stories about things like the rates of unvaccinated admissions to intensive care. Because if you have 2 people in IC and you think the population is 4, you can say half of all unvaccinated are in IC.. ..but the actual number of unvaccinated might be 200,000, say..)
Not to mention the amount of people who were killed with the gene therapy injections!
6.5B means africa is empty :)
China might be over estimating by 100M but the rest is likely as reported.
Interesting thought. What are the implications? Not even sure how to think about verifying a number like this.
I as well question everything now post COVID! I agree with you...
Central planners never lie.
Scepticism such as this is needed.
To be fair, China has been caught manipulating its population figures for decades now, hence the ghost cities. So you have a point. Globalist ngo funding comes largely by population, so it literally pays to have more children “on paper” to beg for those resources.
