We can't even get those off the ground at this stage in our spacecraft.

And we also have a lot of issues to resolve on Earth before we spread our problems across the galaxy, as far as I'm concerned.

But beyond these solutions, the ideas and public discourses around overpopulation have also birthed a lot of conspiracy theories.

You know, I'm sure you might've heard a few of them in your time.

Oh boy.

Yep.

This is one of the big Alex Jones things, for example.

So he's convinced that there's like a giant plot by the globalists to kill off an enormous part of the human population to like stop overpopulation or something.

It's... Yeah.

Yeah.

Honestly, any combination of conspiracies can somehow be smushed together to fit that kind of narrative.

And they could talk about, oh, the vaccines are sterilizing people, the chemtrails, the 5G towers, the Bill Gates microchips, even the food supply, all these things allegedly being used to sterilize people.

Not to say that there isn't validity to any claims of

the things that we consume contributing to lower fertility, the fact that we clothe ourselves in like polyester, you know, we still don't have a full idea of the impact of microplastics on our bodies.

You know, there's valid concerns about some of the consequences of the ultra-processed

foods that you know fill our grocery shelves but that's the sad thing about conspiracy theories you know they have some kernels of truth mixed in to bolster their validity but then they mix it up with a bunch of garbage about you know that's a nonsense yeah

And then of course, I mean, some of these conspiracy theories are kind of benign.

You know, like if you think it's 5G towers, I guess you'd put a, I don't know, a tinfoil hat on your junk.

But

I mean, to be fair, there was one of the 5G guys who did like blow himself up at a giant car bomb.
