“Are you going to sterilize them too?”
“No, no. For the foreseeable future, we need a breeding population of humans. Like I said, the current overpopulation has little to do with too many children being born. Depopulation won’t be random. It is not the impoverished people living in the forests of Africa, that are the problem in regards to overpopulation. We have no interest in the indigenous tribal peoples of the world. They do not impact the environment. They concern us no more than monkeys.”
“The main problem leading to overpopulation is the consumers, living in modern cities. They are living longer, they consume a large number of resources. The antibiotics, vaccines, and surgeries that extend people’s lives, are the primary causes of overpopulation, as it relates to the strain on the Earth’s environment.”
“We created the consumer population. They are our responsibility. Since they are the primary cause of environmental destruction, they are a threat to us, and all of life. We cannot leave them alive. They would never accept the standard of living that would be required. Other populations will be affected by depopulation efforts, but they can survive if they want to. Anyone can survive if they try hard enough.”
Before he finished, I started tearing up. I turned away so he would not see. I knew it. Blaming people for the genocide, which he intended to enact on humanity, was disgusting. I wanted to kill him, but I knew that would not stop what his people are doing.
He saw that I was disturbed. He said again, “We will keep some of them, of course. They will be useful as a supplementary breeding population. There are still tasks they can perform. However, you must understand, we only need thousands of them, not billions.”
“People who live in the forests and jungles will continue to live how they have lived. We are not going to hunt them down. We just need to get the consumer populations down to a manageable level.”, he said.
“It just seems so inhumane.”, I said. “You’re going to starve billions of people.”
“People are going to starve to death regardless of what we do. Industrial agriculture has reached it’s limit, and is now on the decline. The more we rely on it to feed people, the worse the impact on the environment will be. If we don't stop it, none of us will survive.”
He let that sink in, then continued, “If we do nothing, people will still starve to death by the billions. It will just take longer, impact more people, and vastly increase the destruction done to the environment. What we plan to do will control the collapse, and reduce the long term impact as best as humanly possible.”
“Billions of people are going to die regardless of what we do. How long it takes, how large the effects are, and how long they last depends on what we do right now. The more we do now, the less devastation we have to deal with in the future.”
