When and HOW will it end?

Something a lot of people don’t really think about or even consider is the alarming rate of how many HUMANS are on Earth….

And if we are being honest, WE are the most destructive creatures. I’ve never seen a dog murder for fun…

Well, what makes it alarming?

The other day, I remembered when humanity first reached 7 B-B-B-B- BILLION humans…. Ehh, whatever, I guess.

But the next thing I knew, there was news of the 8TH BILLION PERSON BORN.

Huh???

I remembered when it was 7 billion… I’m not THAT old…. (Born in 1996… too old to be Gen Z, too young to be a Millennial?)

Being curious about when exactly the 7th billion person was born, I asked ChatGPT ($20/m is a STEAL)…. Apparently, the 7th billion person was born in the year 2011….
The 8th billion was born in 2022….

So it only took 11 YEARS for another billy—I guess people don’t like wearing condoms...

(freakaleeks)

So I started asking more questions, like alright… when did humans get their first million… then 10, then 100, etc….

Here’s what ChatGPT told me:

• 1 Million Humans: ~10,000 BCE

• 10 Million Humans: ~6,000 BCE

• 100 Million Humans: ~500 BCE

• 1 Billion Humans: 1804

• 2 Billion Humans: 1927

• 3 Billion Humans: 1960

• 4 Billion Humans: 1974

• 5 Billion Humans: 1987

• 6 Billion Humans: 1999

• 7 Billion Humans: 2011

• 8 Billion Humans: 2022

• 9 Billion Humans (Projected): 2037

This is all due to the Industrial Revolution, technology, medicine, and agriculture.

I’m sure you already could have guessed.

Why does it even matter?

Well, we should probably start asking that…

Remember when, in America, one person could have any ole random job and live comfortably?
Literally, people were cashiers living alone in an apartment.

Nowadays, if you’re a cashier, you can hardly survive with roommates.

Greed is for sure a factor in why the American Dream is being demolished, but also, maybe it's being demolished because, well…

THERE ARE TOO MANY AMERICANS!

More People = Fewer Opportunities

There can only be so many (good-paying) roles that need to be filled.

We should probably start thinking of a solution to all this…

Elon has already thought about this…
His solution?

He’s leaving Earth.

I’m not Elon, and neither are you….

So what are WE going to do?

TL;DR:

The Alarming Growth of Humanity

• Human population is growing at a crazy rate.

• In 2011, we hit 7 billion people. By 2022, we were at 8 billion—that’s just 11 years for another billion.

• Population milestones:

  • 1 billion (1804) → 2 billion (1927) → 3 billion (1960) → 8 billion (2022) → 9 billion projected by 2037.

• More people = fewer opportunities (housing, jobs, resources).

• The American Dream is fading because there are simply too many people competing for the same resources.

• Elon Musk’s solution? Leave Earth.

• Our solution? We need to start thinking about it.

TL;DR: At bottom
