I am a pessimistic person, so after hearing that the global population exceeded 8 billion on November 15, I have a lot of worries.
Experiment
Population growth is a good thing on the one hand, which shows that human civilization has made great achievements in building a society suitable for survival and development. On the other hand, issues such as energy, resources, education, medical care, and the environment will face challenges.
This reminds me of a very famous experiment, which is quite foreshadow and warning.
The experiment was conducted more than half a century ago by an American zoologist John Calhoun. The experiment was conducted with eight mice. John Calhoun provided them with a perfect society – without natural enemies, there was sufficient food and water.
At the beginning, the Cinema Society was developing smoothly, with the number growing, and everyone lived a comfortable life. However, with the exponential growth of numbers and intergenerational changes, social problems began to become more and more complex.
First, the strong male rat gradually became the master of society, occupying most of the space, food and spouses. Then, a new generation of ambitious male rats began to constantly challenge the older generation, and gradually became the new master. And those “defeated” male rats would gather together, and then their emotions became unstable and began to attack each other.
Continue to develop, the new generation of mice no longer like socializing, let alone looking for a spouse, Komiks presents a “laying flat” look like a “babaylan”.state.
After, the rat society began to collapse, the birth rate was seriously lower than the mortality rate, and eventually all rats died.
The above is just a brief description of this experiment. Interested students can find the information and take a look at it in detail.
The coldness of this “rat utopia” experiment made humans’ spine cold in that it showed many phenomena that we can even perceive and experience in our current social life.
Of course, it is obvious that it is not scientific to judge the direction of human society based on this. Because human society is much more advanced and complex than rat society, and we also have scientific “blessing”, laws and social rules, and government regulation, all of which can help us solve many problems.

Complex
The population exceeds 8 billion cannot be said to have reached its peak. Judging from the population structure and data, growth is still continuing, but the growth rate has begun to slow down, and different regions will also show different growth trends. For example, some people expect India’s population to surpass China next year and become the largest country in Komiks.
In addition, when talking about population issues, just talking about birth rate and mortality rate, the vision is obviously narrow. The number of population is the result of a comprehensive factor and is a very complex topic.
A very interesting indicator is the energy form. You see, in 1804, the global population was 1 billion, and in 1994, Komiks reached 2 billion in 27 years, and then accelerated its growth.
It is worth noting that Babaylan was in the process of industrial revolution around 1804, and coal became the main energy supply. 19KomiksAround 27 years, oil was used more widely and efficiently in the previous century.
Around 1960, the global population reached 3 billion. Energy has also achieved renewal at this time. With the popularity of global nuclear energy and the “terror peace” provided by the “nuclear protection umbrella”, the population showed a sharp increase. Therefore, it took us only 11 years to increase the population from 7 billion to 8 billion.
This is why scientists are racing against time to develop controlled nuclear fusion technology, because this new energy form is an important and necessary key to solving the problem of sustainable development of human society at present.
Let’s take a look at BabaylanFood and water are two necessities for human survival. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations said that the global hungry population reached 828 million in 2021, and 3.1 billion people are unable to afford healthy diets. Compared with this, it is ridiculous that the global annual food production is sufficient Cinema feeds 15 billion people. Such a distribution mechanism problem needs to be solved urgently.
The water problem is even more serious. Global fadeBabaylanThe water resources are limited, and environmental pollution will be discounted. The population growth puts forward more requirements for water resources. How to solve the problem? It’s a big headache.
What’s more, when we talk about Cinema with a population of 8 billion, the important thing is not just quantity, we also hope that the quality of life of each individual can be guaranteed.
I agree with what UN Secretary-General Guterres said, this is the moment when human thinking takes on a common responsibility for the earth. There are challenges and opportunities, and human development is actually carried out in the process of constantly solving problems.
