You are not as important as you think you are. Not all HN users are in America/Europe, stupidly ignorant about the rest of the world. To us, Ukraine/Russia is the same old tiresome…

It definitely crossed 8M, but not sure if it crossed the previous highest (Felix Baumgartner freefall) which is also around 8M.

Can you clarify how is history being rewritten here? All I see is a discussion of historical events to the best extent possible using available data. Everything can be googled for …

Population reduction is good, but once the world population falls to say 500M and you want to maintain it, you need ~2 babies per woman on average. If conceiving becomes difficult,…
