My point wasn't that half the people needs to be killed, it was more that the equation for this problem has two variables and we only focus on one.

Total pollution = average pollution * number of people

Yes the current paradigm of 'consoom more for growth' capitalism is one half of this problem. But many of the things we are doing also wouldn't be an issue were the population smaller

Yeah, we could collectively be even stupider if we were fewer! That's the dream!!! Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates' dream!

Your equation is WAY too simplistic... Here's a better one:

Total pollution = ( average pollution - government intervention with corporations that pollute for profit - government rules to diminish individual pollution - anti-pollution technology ) * number of people

But yeah, fuck all these regulations and shit, let's just pollute then blame Joe Average.
