Buddhism and Population

India surpassed China in population this week as China declined slightly and India grew.

First, before the following: know that I don't care what your religious beliefs are as long as you don't try to make me believe them. Ever tradition on Earth is about people settling down locally and making stuff up. What you believe is really none of my business.

But for me the text is from the 9th century Pali Sutras where the Tibetan/NE Indian Buddhists mention how many people there should be in the world. They said 10,000 people.

Now we must bear in mind they didn't know about the New World at all, probably didn't know much about the Vikings, Europe, etc. may not have known about the Phillipines or East of that, probably didn't know about Australia or New Zealand so I say to all the Western Buddhists, there you have it. Adjust for all these other places and maybe you have 150,000 people in the world and that's in a place that has hit around 8 billion. What the hell?

This means automatic access to IUDs to ever girl when she gets the HPV vaccine all over the world. I wish people in the West would cease blathering and being so decadent and would get real. I get that old people don't give a fuck because they know that they won't be alive (in the backs of their minds).
