I think i know of some Earthly paradises you may want to migrate to.
So what's taking you so long? haha. share! share! no, but seriously, im not looking to join china or work my ass off to get a passport and plane ticket for that matter when i could just go back to living on the streets-i dont because i am looking for a real community of the like. hard to find people who dont want to be found though.

And yet, we are all here now.
Wanting less population and wanting it bad enough to warrant a painful death of the majority of global population are two different things.
It's really not the population numbers that bother me so much as the reprecautions for such dense numbers.
If we could all work together to benefit and produce "happy lives", as you put it, i wouldnt care if there were 20 humans or 20 trillion.
But so long as there are ANY groups of people working hard to build for themselves without regard for others, im going to want them annihilated.
