Let’s assume for arguments sake that the end of the world is not imminent. And let’s also include that something really speculative and weird like a visit from a friendly alien species gifts us amazing technology we are millennia away from figuring out ourselves.
What we get, is gematria’s chance to save the world.
The Earth is a closed system. For now at least having an evil corporation seeking to mine precious metals from the moons of Jupiter and having all kinds of shenanigans going on related to their being an evil corporation is only for movies. The living animal population checks and balances itself (unlike a government which pitfalls and roadblocks its way along to incompetence) and self corrects.
Now the opposite of Armageddon is that the Earth just keeps chugging along with a lot of miserable people enjoying having their labor rewarded by giving their resources away to grifters. The act of producing progeny has some short term benefits, despite the messy bodily fluids, and there is a desire to engage in activities that may lead to more tiny little unsocialized humans. The population keeps growing as long as sufficient resources to sustain continued growth permit.
In today’s article, we see an underutilized almost entirely untapped opportunity for gematria addicts to do their thing. Beginning with the lack of attention paid to it. Last I checked, Peter Sweden was big on blathering about the alarming decline in birth rates, but I’ve never seen a gematria take on this. The traditional end of the world stories have too much traction to ignore. Another facet of gematria narratives is the laziness, keeping to the same schtick for brand recognition. Although it might be expected that someone would fill the void, nobody has stepped up to the plate for gematria hot takes on overpopulation. I mean, come on guys, you’ve even got somebody covering women’s volleyball now because it was an unfilled niche, where’s the overpopulation gematria?
The answer to that is related to the laziness. Most of the gematria promoters and therefore the stories are not very intelligent. Coming up with an entire blog and dedicating a video channel to something new is too much like work. And when the goal is to arrest intellectual development for short term financial gain actually going full Tolkien mode and creating literary art you’re just going to keep being stuck with the same end of the world failed predictions and broken promises we’ve been getting.
But back to the meat of why overpopulation topic is a great theme.
