    I’m not the same person btw.

    Genuine question, wouldn’t a directly proportional link require that sustainability efforts go up in a direct mirror to population?

    edit: a downvote isn’t particularly helpful here, is that a downvote of “yes, but i don’t want to admit it” or “no, because reasons” ?

      Ask better questions, ig. Do I look like I’m running for governor? Idk what you think should or should not be happening, but the answer has absolutely no impact on what is happening now and what we know will happen as a result: human overpopulation is real, it is the driving force behind ongoing global ecosystem collapse, we know of many safe and friendly methods to reduce birthrates.

        I’m…not sure how much better i can phrase that question ?

        It was concise, contained all the information needed for an answer, it could even be a single yes or no.

        If you have an example of how that could have been asked in a better way, I’d be interested in seeing it.

        There was no reference to my thoughts on the overall theme, the question is only loosely related to that theme.

        If it helps, i don’t care at all about the overpopulation classification or anything to do with it.

        Is it easier if i remove all references to the theme? Let’s try this :

        Doesn’t directly proportional mean both metrics being compared need to track each other?

            ah, so questions about logic aren’t good questions?

            or just that one ?

            edit: i replied before your edit.
