people who have access to equitable righta and education (ie girls go to school, everyone has access to the economy and healthcare including sexual health) tend to self-regulate the population towards sustainable levels.

Stupidity is created through systemic sexism, dumbification, and reinforcement of poverty.

Baby booms happen when people don’t know how the world, including their bodies, work, and when uterus-havers are isolated and have control over their own life paths and bodies removed.

the usa before women had equitable banking, voting, education, healthcare, and employment access is a fine example – there are plenty around the world.

tl;dr overpopulation is an effect of discriminatory and oppressive environments and not a herreditary issue.

we are born to a bellcurve of smartness; just a lot of people get it starved and beaten out of them and are put on the prison pipeline before they can figure out what’s going on.

we’ve known this a long time but it’s hard to ‘sell’ to privledged people who didn’t have to think about it and don’t want to talk about reperations for redlining, boarding schools, etc… (good morning and welcome to the Blood Machine)

can anyone write a monster truck ad version of my comment that is readable at a 3rd grade level, pls?

also, it’s the power grip and reciprocity. that’s what makes us human.

(… ya’ll, should we get a community? is there one already?)

game theory/economic zero sum gaming was the result of a paranoid breakdown.

iow, each for themselves economic policy is not based. these works are still cited in arguments against altruism though.

would fedi links first help? if a site has precense in the gated communities but made that visually secondary to their friendica+masto+pixelfed links…?

(i don’t want to go to a corprate kettlebox to check for news and updates, that’s for sure.)

they hate it less if it’s funny and easy and doesn’t trigger paywall-creep trauma?

prominant at the footer or last on a sidebar. a page dedicated to a brief transparency of hosting costs and ongoing labor demands of the project, and current state of funding helps a lot!

if that seems difficult, see if a friend or comrade with ok writing skills ‘interview’ you on the subject for five or ten minutes – sometimes it’s easier to have a friend reflecting to discover one’s finer points of value.

thanks for helping build the webrings and discovery tools of tomorrow.

i’ll be watching your project while i work on my Web Literacy and Navigation materials. :)

libraries need human rights supporters to just show up and normalize the room as often as possible so badly right now.

Just being there and looking proPOC and proTrans makes the space more accessible to everyone, except the people who are frustrated by inclusive community practice flouting their desire to hunt and torture for sport.

If your social contract afforded you some heathcare coverage, would there be enough professionals in your area still taking insurance? Or is there an undercut of missing psych graduations as part of the general trend once the pricetag inflation of higher education prices became clear some dozens years ago? Besides the labor price undercut in that field by sketchy insurance quanting of the officiation.
