um i can't wait to get to this thing later on in this podcast where this guy is
trying to claim
that the uh the earth can sustain 100 billion people i really cannot i cannot
wait i just
glanced at it and looked at it and it's just i i just how the you arrived at
that number
and i actually tried to find i started looking up how many people the earth can
sustain
and uh what i immediately found was that nobody could say for certain but the
numbers estimated
were nowhere near a hundred million people hundred billion sorry so i cannot
wait
to read this guy somehow claiming that there's enough farmland
to feed a hundred billion people yeah i don't know okay do we stack each other
on top of one another
and even then do elephants get to roam free anymore where are all the animals
um if there was a hundred billion people on the planet i would think that cannibalism
would slowly start to become legal they would have uh they'd have farm people
or stock people that's
what they'd call them and they would be simply be um used for food you know we
just you know and of
course it would be uh you know the evil white man would decide who it is that
gets eaten first
you know maybe they'd start with like the pygmies or something like that
because it'd be like all right
well you know they're uh they are a particular race but they're not as tall as
most people in that race so
you know they're sort of bite-sized they're like sliders right sliders they're
like human sliders
you know get a little honey bun you know stick a ankle between the two
right why would you eat an ankle ankle meat
um all right oh here it is
here it is this is the one i wanted to read this is this is amazing overpopulation
myth
bill how you're doing and i'm just checking in on you uh to inform you that if
you go online and see for
yourself how much arable a-r-a-b-l-e farmland and resources there actually is
in the world you'll see
that there is enough to feed and home at least 100 billion people for a provable
fact
i don't know that sentence didn't make sense
did you like voice texas or did you actually this is how you actually
type out sentences person goes so anytime you hear anyone say that seven
billion people is too many
people um they're t-h-e-i-r either seriously misinformed and or too lazy to do
some research
or flat out lying through their teeth like our so-called leaders and scientists
must be
oh yeah they got to be lying because you know you can't even spell their right
because within one to do two days of research you can find studies that
prove what i say it's going to take me one to two days to find it on the
internet
this is hilarious one two days 22 days research you can find studies that prove
what i say is true
parentheses at least 100 billion now i know you're in the business of
waking the masses up just like the late great bill hicks no i'm not
but do you realize how serious the situation is regarding the distraction and
brainwashing
as organized by big business and they're controlling family owners so as great
as i think you and your
comedy are mentioning overpopulation which is a complete myth is doing them
parentheses big
corporations and the cunts who own them a big service and adding to the brainwashing
anyway bill
i know you're a great man because of the subjects you talk about during your
shows but please look
for yourself at how much admirable arable farmland there is and consider the
fact that all food grows
completely for free um wow all right well i'll tell you this buddy i know i'm a
moron so i just
looked up i looked at how many people can the earth sustain um and it says uh
how many people can the earth
support so 10 billion people is the utmost population limit where food is
concerned that's the first one
the next one says more than seven billion people currently on the planet
compared to three billion
in 1967 that one doesn't say oh i'll just well that's a video i don't want to
watch that
current population is three times the sustainable level that's uh the next
article um how many people
can the earth sustain i'll click on this one i'm trying to find anything that
says anything even
remotely close to 100 million 100 billion here's a staggering stat according to
the united nations
the world's current population is 7.2 billion it's now up to 7.8 is projected
to increase by 1 billion
over the next 12 years which would bring us to 9.6 billion by 2050 how can we
sustain all these people
on the planet or rather how many people can this planet sustain that is the
question alan weissman
explored in his latest book countdown our last best hope for a future on earth
question mark
um jesus christ a bunch of conversations
a bunch of words how about a number
where is the number all right he has the chart or whether it's gonna the next
50 years we will need
to produce as much food as it ever been consumed for an entire human history
well that makes sense
because they'll be the most people they'll be the most farts ever in the
history of human beings
there's no number there sir all i can tell you is is if you see the
environmental damage that 7.8 billion
people did if you're gonna have a hundred billion people like i mean at this
point in africa there's
barely any land for for wild animals it's all it's all like for the most part
down in the southern part
of the country uh it's all like roped off it's finite you know what i mean they're
completely surrounded
i'd have to say that i disagree and not just by your spelling because i couldn't
read half
the words you said even when you spelt them right but yeah no there's no way
100 billion people
and there's any sort of animal life left that isn't stuck in a cage you know
what i mean um and also in
this last year i traveled to singapore hong kong and mumbai india and i saw
what that next level of
population looked like dude and i was breathing that air not singapore singapore
was was different um
but hong kong and mumbai india you could almost taste the air and it was just
uh
it was just way too many people i can i can tell you that there's no way 100
billion people um
and i don't understand why i need to look it up for one to two days why couldn't
you just send me a
link i would love for you to be right but uh i'm gonna go out on a limb and say
you're not
i'm gonna go with the scientists on this one and also this also sounds like
you know when people denied global warming not to get all political but one
political party adamantly
denied it for years and years and years and now they've decades and now they
finally just go yeah
we are causing climate change but you know what it's too late now so i imagine
that that's what we're
going to do out here we have a methane gas leak that's been going on and i
guess that's probably
it's like 10 times worse than carbon dioxide as far as getting put into the
fucking uh
atmosphere as far as heating it up and all that we're completely we're fucked
we're absolutely
fucked um and selfishly i hope i it doesn't happen by the end of my own life
which is the exact sort of
thought process that got us into this mess to begin with but sir you're you're
correct in assuming that
i'm a dope and i don't know what i'm talking about but uh i'm just kind of
going with having traveled
extensively you know for the last 20 years on the road and watching the
population increase just in
this country um it's a weird thing when the population that keeps looking like
it's sort of
leveled off and i don't know because there's no factories anymore all i know is
like i've used to be
back in the day if i jumped on the highway at two in the afternoon i was good
and now everywhere i go
there's like traffic and i'm just looking at these people going like you guys
all stand-up comics
does everybody work the third shift how the are all these people out on the
road i don't know what's
going on do a lot of people work from home and they're all driving out to get a
sandwich at that
time i don't know you know what let me look up i heard the u.s population has
kind of leveled
off which has excited me that's exciting to me you know u.s population
jesus christ bill can you population
by year let's do this all right let's see what we got here u.s population by
year
uh right let's go back to 1997 there was 2.7265 million and now there's 322.07
million so it's
gone up by like 50 million is that enough to notice well that's actually you
know that's significant
right that's like a 20 increase i think i'm making some points
