Ep 550 | The Earth Needs More Babies, Not Fewer

Today we're demolishing the myth of overpopulation, the basis for the "anti-natalist" movement that says that people shouldn't have kids for the good of humanity. We look at the history of this worldview and why people are so convinced that overpopulation is a serious threat to humanity. This type of thinking has wound its way through some of the worst ideologies in history, from actual white supremacists in America to the Nazis and then to Planned Parenthood. However, the threat of overpopulation is far from fact; it's just a theory that has already been debunked by history. Nevertheless, this theory has taken hold of many people, inspiring them to view children and family negatively. Many of the most influential and wealthy people in the world think this way too, and they're moving mountains of money to organizations that match their ideology. But, as we'll discuss and back up with biblical and historical evidence, having kids is a credit to the world, not a debit. Note: Thomas Malthus’s name is pronounced Malth-us, not Malth-e-us. --- Today's Sponsors: Reliefband is 100% drug-free, non-drowsy & provides all-natural, long-lasting relief of nausea — with zero side effects!
