You spend a lot of time and money on the wrong problem. Focusing on less children being born would be much more beneficial in a local and a global sense. And they less children there are the more attention each one gets which is a good thing.

I object! The most efficient way to slow down population growth is continuing to raise living standards. Growth rate has cont. slowed down since 1960 and continues to do so. The total population will peak at around 11bn by the end of the century. See:https://ourworldindata.org/world-population-growth#the-global-population-growth-rate-peaked-long-ago …

Why can’t people see the good in the world instead of always looking at the bad. We know it still needs allot of improvement, everyone knows that! A little gratitude can go a long way on continuing the fight against the wrongs in the world. Optimism beats pessimism always

Important to note the giant leaps that developed countries have made compared to the developing world. Look at child mortality and fertility rates 1960 vs 2018 in many nations, the change is often minimal and sometimes negative. Large swathes of humanity simply left behind.

@sapinker One of the most recurring ideas to my brain while reading your book, is that somehow we need more things like#ourworldindata with some globally data collectors in other countries. Open source collab, I doubt of my country data collection and stats, we need standards.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

But if you look at the data just for Africa the story’s completely different. So I’m not sure it’s a global story so much as a set of very different regional stories.
-
Can you point me to that data pls?
-
The data for Africa on that metric is here: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/child-mortality-around-the-world … It is not a different story. As everywhere the health of children has been improving.

Constantly repeat the same virtue signaling jargon. Never say why higher literacy and lower deaths is actually GOOD. Maybe it would be GOOD to irradiate certain genes from the population. Maybe certain genes are better at imparting survival traits than others.

Nearly 1/2 of the world's population — more than 3 billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day. More than 1.3 billion live in extreme poverty — less than $1.25 a day. 1 billion children worldwide are living in poverty. According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due it.

It's doubtful one can understand the World through "numbers". Real change comes from actions, not just talking ... BTY, if Bill Gages ever wanted to help, he could just give money away, like say: Andrew Carnegie.

With regard to improvements for human beings, I see the point. However, given what we've done to ravage the planet's environment, I don't see a lot of optimism. We've become a pox upon the planet.

Two out of three is not bad but there's still some Bayesian payoff likelihood measure that you should modify to get things rationally alrighty. So perhaps 70% good poverty-prosperity payoff measure, which is 30% bad, but improvement is you pet thing so keep trying.
