10:00:23 From Nelson to Everyone: Thoughts on Elan Musk's views on overpopulation? 10:05:48 From Nelson : Albert Einstein: The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. We are going to turn things around as humanity swells by billions more, see Einstein. 10:09:47 From Nelson : If you halve someone’s fertility rate by tripling their environmental footprint what is gained? Is that not a net loss? 10:19:11 From Membership Relations to Everyone: Our thoughts on public figures promoting larger population growth: https://populationconnection.org/blog/people-should-make-their-own-childbearing-decisions-without-interference-from-public-figures/ 10:25:54 From Nelson : Thoughts on the Roe V.

Regenerative farming is absolutely vital in addressing climate change, and plays into women's empowerment as well. Although women farmers produce a large percentage of the world's food, they have less access to capital, training, technology, or land than their male counterparts, which means that they produce less food than would be otherwise possible in a more egalitarian landscape. Leveling the playing field would result in higher yields produced on the same amount of land and a reduction in deforestation in accordance with smaller impetus to deforest land areas to create more farmland.

It's nice to at least hear of some efforts being made to change things. 11:01:23 From Membership Relations to Everyone: Thank you for joining us Pamela! 11:04:20 From Nelson : Regenerative farming was just farming in the 19th century, and back then famine was common even through our numbers were a quarter of what it is today. 11:04:31 From Don to Everyone: Wow!
