If only they banned guns 2,000 years ago, we wouldn't have so much gun violence.
If they only banned cigarettes 2,000 years ago, the human race would have as much lung cancer.
I mean you've just gone off the deep end. Is it because you had a picture that kind of , sort of had something to do with the subject?
Krumple's proposal is to sterilize everyone and then only reverse the process when they can produce verification that they can support a child. This is the proposal you are backing.
The chart below illustrates that from the year zero, (and before that, no doubt), almost NOBODY could really afford a child:
So, if we followed Krumple's insane proposal, the human race would only allow the top 1% to procreate, since they would be the only ones who could really afford it. Considering the rates of disease and war, that would have led to declining populations, then reduction to a few scraggly bands of survivors, then the plug gets pulled permanently on Homo Sapiens. Really, that is the way it works out.
So aside from conservatives embracing totalitarianism, your post reveals that conservatism has not only become anti-science, it is rapidly becoming anti-arithmetic.
