Whether it is "population explosion", "aging" or "fewer children", it is enough to threaten the survival and development of all mankind.
Among them, the hottest topic in recent years is "population replacement".
It has been pointed out that when a country accepts or is forced to accept a large number of people from other countries, the population structure of this country will inevitably change.
It stands to reason that this should be a fact that most people can see.
But then, people who point out this often say with anxiety: in this way, that country will soon be completely occupied by foreigners, and the aborigines will either be forced to leave or be marginalized.
The reason they often give is that in a country that absorbs a large number of migrants, the fertility rate of its main ethnic groups is inevitably low, and even "most people are unwilling to have children." Those immigrants who are absorbed are extremely fertile, and even "every couple can have seven or eight children."
To use China's idiom to describe it, this is "pigeons occupy the magpie's nest".
At present, this view has been recognized by quite a few people. They believe that in the near future, the whole world will inevitably be occupied by people from countries that keep giving away people abroad. Moreover, most of them do not accept any objections and questions.
I have always opposed this view. At least, it is also an attitude of disapproval.
It is true that reproduction is the basic condition for the survival and development of all living things. But can it decide everything?
If the quantity and speed of reproduction can determine everything, or if a creature can occupy the whole world as long as it can reproduce quickly and massively, then today's earth should be completely ruled by the kind of creature that reproduces fastest and most.
In nature, how many kinds of creatures reproduce faster than us? I'm afraid this number is countless.
Whether it is flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches or bedbugs, the number and speed of reproduction are much faster than humans.
According to incomplete statistics, the total number of insects in the world is an astronomical figure that is difficult to calculate its accurate value, which is many orders of magnitude more than the total population of the world.
Why didn't the insects on the earth evolve to the stage of wisdom and develop civilization? Why don't insects rule the whole earth?
These questions must have never occurred to many people.
Some people may say: you take these different kinds of creatures as examples, which is not convincing.
However, I believe many people must have heard the saying: Sometimes, the gap between people is bigger than the gap between people and dogs.
This sentence is also a verifiable fact.
Due to many factors, such as growth environment, education level, personality, physical differences and so on. There may indeed be differences between different people.
A college student with a formal undergraduate education can completely solve problems that a hundred illiterate people can't solve;
A specially trained and even battle-hardened special forces can completely defeat a hundred unarmed civilians.
What's the use of simply pursuing numbers?
Some people think that as long as there are enough people, you can gather a group of people anytime and anywhere and do whatever you want.
In the high-tech era, how can there be such a naive person?
Crowd tactics, at the military level, have long since become history.
A man who can control drones and a few armed drones are enough to wipe out a large group of people with bricks and sticks in the blink of an eye.
At present, some people who have a good life have not been eliminated, but those who have power and strength in their hands have not made up their minds to eliminate them, or are being used by other powerful people.
Most people who firmly believe in the theory of "population replacement" assume that they are based on the following two premises:
First, the main ethnic groups in a country are weak and stupid idiots who are unconscious and unprepared for possible crises, or they will only bury their heads in the sand like ostriches, or they will only beg for mercy or escape, and they are unwilling to have children;
Second, immigrants in a country are "fearless" and even omnipotent. Each couple can have seven or eight children, and they can raise them easily without any burden.
At first glance, are these two premises ridiculous? Who has no cost to have children? If someone can really give birth to seven or eight children, how much will it cost to raise these children? Besides, what are the chances that their children will cross their own classes? Moreover, in a normal country, how can no one realize what problems a large number of floating population will cause?
However, there are indeed many people who firmly believe in these two premises.
Because, in those people's minds, all people are divided by the labels instilled in them by some media or public opinion. Anyone who is automatically labeled by them is the same in their eyes, and there is no difference.
I admit that in every country, every nation, there will be some stupid people, bad guys, stupid bad guys, and there may be a group of people sitting on their hips and preaching some theories that make normal people sound ridiculous.
But are people like this?
Because a few people on the internet say stupid things, everyone is a fool.
Because someone on the internet claimed that they didn't want to have children, everyone refused to have children?
Is this possible?
Those people can only represent themselves.
If some people really think that a country can only be occupied by women's uterus, then they must not realize that women's uterus in every country has never been locked or removed.
If some people really think that the people above the temple are stupid and bad, then they must not realize that there are more people above the temple than they can see.
If those in power are unconscious of the population problem, most ordinary people can only be more unconscious. Because, in this information age, most people in power can see more, wider and deeper than most ordinary people.
Many people can only see the possible "population crisis", but they can't see the policy adjustments or other measures made by world leaders, and they can't see the people who do their best to solve the problem.
It is the biggest fallacy to use one person, several people or a handful of people to represent everyone.
If our world really faces some crises in the future, what we have to do is to do our own thing seriously and make our own contribution to this society, instead of scaring ourselves or broadcasting the ideas instilled by some people to others without thinking.
It is true that the people are the foundation of the country. However, in today's era, high-quality talents are the real precious wealth. In the high-tech era, it is not enough to rely solely on a huge population.
I hope you can think about these words.
