@niksthompson@MarsmanQuansun @Beniko26020660 @wholemars The two children takes into account the father as well so ineffect the extra cushion (to account for all the premature deaths before reaching adulthood) is only 0.1
@MarsmanQuansun@niksthompson @Beniko26020660 @wholemars So it looks like the middle ground policy advocated by India (two kids) seems to be proven right.
@NathanGuergis@LordPente@elonmusk For some reason increasing wealth seems to be associated with reduced fertility. So a fine line has to be navigated between abject poverty with high fertility versus affluence with abysmal fertility.
@DavidDMil@ThePrimalDino Exactly my point too. Venus was a stretch I know. Once we have a steady flow of about 1000 starships to and from Mars then we can be confident that we have become a truly multi planetary species.
@DavidDMil@ThePrimalDino So yes, it’s not a great idea for those people who went, but it’ll be a giant step for humanity. As said many times before, that’s one of the great filters which decides if a planetary civilization survives after its time is up.
@anishgop@smileinsparrow@Su_MoBhakt@ajitdatta You’re right, but afterwards Nanging motors was acquired by / merged to SAIC. So it doesn’t matter. You can’t win by involving in competition by Chinese, they’re all government controlled to a large extent and can change shape and form to their benefit whenever needed. 😁😁
@ThePrimalDino Exactly. I’d say the biggest achievement of Soviet’s was the first man/ woman in space. Too bad they couldn’t replicate that with the moon, Venus or Mars. Now they’re playing catch up.
@PrasPro@AndresS94343815@paulnovosad Try telling the families of those millions of people who died (many due to lack of effective vaccines), that vaccines may cause blot clots in 1 in a few million people.
Your argument has already failed the test.
@PrasPro@AndresS94343815@paulnovosad Have you seen how many people have died with COVID (around 5.4 million)? Are you beginning to disbelieve everything and say that none of these ever happened? Worldwide the number of people who have died with vaccinations can be probably counted with fingers. That’s enough.
@PrasPro@AndresS94343815@paulnovosad If someone is unfortunate to contract COVID and be sick with it requiring intensive care treatment, the risk of clots exceeds 50%. This is far far higher than the risk of clots associated with vaccines. Please don’t spread misinformation and blunt our fight against COVID.
