Thomas Malthus (Malthusianism): Does Population Growth Lead to Food Shortages & Resource Depletion?

Should we not blindly dismiss everything that has to do with Naziism too? Thomas Malthus was 100% wrong about everything. 100%. And his ideas weren't born out of a concern for humanity, but a hatred of it. His fears were the poor would threaten his elite lifestyle, and thus the solution is to cull those unnecessary to provide it to him. Yes, we should dismiss such evil thinking.

Malthus was right, and people refuse to see it

Im ok with depopulation if the rich decide to go first

Is it true that corruption and distributio. Instead of food supply causes hunger as a scientific iota of truth by Amartya Sen. Say yes or no and nothing else
Yes

Is it true that malthusian has been overcome scientifically by revolutions like GMO and other advanced agriculture has an iota of truth? Say yes or no

Yes

If we keep breeding the way we are, we're going to run out of space eventually. And then we won't be able to make any food.

We should be imprisoning breeders, not rewarding them.

As the population goes up, jobs lag, and people get desperate to afford increasingly scarce resources. This allows employers to pay their workers less and less as there will now be people willing to desperately work for less and less without a choice. This decreases quality of life while also contributing to the wealth gap. Higher population, worse average life for the working class, better for the upper class.

Another thing that Malthus didn't factor in was first world waste, just how much food is wasted in the USA alone? population control invariably ends up costing certain ethnicities more than others -I'm sure that this is jus ta coincidence.

Tom was Wrong,, and he would have believed in global warming

I’d argue with the point that pollution is a “price tag” of the population boom of the Industrial Revolution. There are more trees and cleaner air and water over more of the planet than 200 years ago. Now it took some time to get there, because the wealthier a country gets, the more the people direct resources away from basic necessities over to secondary concerns.

The best part about all the gay people they cant reproduce lol

I believe Thomas Malthus was right. Even tough the green revolutions happened and food production is growing, it will stagnate at some point. The land area of Earth will not grow. I look at the productivity of farms in my country Brazil and for some areas the proctivity is already high, it is not growing anymore over the years.

Very informative. Much Blessings to you. Thanks for sharing, Lord-Jesus-Christ dot

Perfect example of soft climate denialism.

His ideas were later used by others in power ,that made birth control, part of their population control, esp in certain areas of the US.

Not only was Malthus correct but he was also short sighted, he missed a large opportunity! So much of today's misconceptions could have been avoided if Malthus would have simplified his work so as to let the 'less mentally stimulated' learn from his writings.

Instead of billionaires flying to space, burning fossil fuel and everyone applauding progress, humanity should look at more inclusive and truly human means of existence.

don't worry the Elites have a plan to address this issue..it doesn't end well

DAYUM THIS VIDEO IS SO INTERESTING

Malthus was right. we should exterminate all the poor people.

Nobody has proven him wrong. We have just used our brains to delay the inevitable.

A very informative video

Nice video!

LOL. Malthus was right. Without infinite resources, all exponential growth halts. So we either control our population or reduce the Earth to an unliveable sludge. It just depends upon how far out you extrapolate the growth and the rate. Not understanding how exponential growth works has lead to Cov-19, another exponential growth phenomenon.

these academics come along with their dubious and often negative theories and have more influence than they deserve as they fit in with the agenda of the powers that be and as the masses are by and large uneducated in certain areas and increasingly lack critical thinking

Clear explanation tq for video

Do you think he is wrong still?

Humans produce nothing but piles of stinking useless shit that benefit virus and bacteria

this is such a sex moment

I like firetruck and monster truck

birth control is only mainstream in wealthier countries

First, I shouldn't have criticized your voice, and for that I apologize. Here's my problem with the video: You didn't point out that demographers tell us that the world's population will start declining in about 30 years. So we don't face inexorable population growth, but most people don't know this.


Also, the United States and Europe are doing a very good job with the environment. Our nation has more forest than it had in 1920. Our air and water are cleaner than they were in 1960. As for plastics in the ocean, we're responsible for only 1% of them. This is despite the fact that our population is far larger than it was 100 years ago.

In fact, studies show that the standard of living worldwide is the highest it has ever been in history. This, again, is despite the fact that the population is far larger than it once was.

People need to hear the good news and understand that wealth and freedom lead to better environments, contrary to myth. The Third World, which is dirt poor, is where the environment is taking a hit. And the more we become like the Third World, the worse our environment will be.

This said, my initial comment was unnecessarily harsh, and I have deleted it.

Food can be reproduce but natural resources cannot and our world is running out of it..dont tell me we can survive without natural resources?

Higher population does not create "more producers", people cannot "produce" anything, we can just transform things and for this we need resources, resources are finite and cannot be produced, just transformed.

Malthus is almost like thanos in a way

high food production + one child policy = food surplus

"We shouldn't blindly dismiss Malthusian thinking"

It isn't blindly dismissing, his views were both verifiable & testable, and they were proved incorrect. He believed we would run out of food to feed ourselves by 1900, it's now 2019 and more people have access to food than ever before.

The only reasons you listed for why it might be correct can be boiled down to "Well it can still happen"

Calling disproving a theory "Blind dismissal" is just dishonest.

We should dismiss malthusianism because its a racist genocidal ideology.

This message is approved by Keynesian socialists Luciferians everywhere

Just take your dam vaccines.

Birth control isn't mainstream in the third world..

The Holocene (Sixth) Mass Extinction is well underway. Educated, professional and rich people from China, India, Iran, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines . . . are pouring to Canada, Australia, US, NZ, EU, even Russia.
