近两三百年,凭借迅猛发展的生产力,人类在维持着近乎“几何级数”的繁衍速度的同时,还为自己带来了前所未有的物质享受。但巨大的人口压力又使得地球不堪重负:资源枯竭、物种灭绝、环境污染,使人类面临着生存危机。 就人口总量发展的历史事实来看,除非发生某些极不人道的事情(大的战争、瘟疫或其它灾害),人口总量一般不会减少。在人口压力难以逆转的条件下,我认为,提高人口素质有利于给地球减负。
In the recent two or three centuries, with its rapid development of productive forces, mankind has enjoyed unprecedented material enjoyment while maintaining its nearly “geometric progression” speed. However, the enormous population pressure has overwhelmed the earth again: depletion of resources, extinction of species and environmental pollution, which make human beings face a crisis of existence. In the historical fact of total population development, the total population will generally not decrease unless some very inhuman things happen (big wars, plagues or other disasters). Under the condition that population pressure is hard to be reversed, I think that improving population quality will help reduce the burden on the earth.
