  • All the Neo-Malthusian BS in this thread, holy crap. The “overpopulation is the problem” has got to be one of the best ways for governments, corpos, and the rich to deflect attention from their failures and excesses. Hands down even better than the “personal carbon footprint” propaganda.

    • earth has a resource distribution/use efficiency issues right now; the rich are greedy and wasteful.

    • don’t want to have kids? Fine, don’t! Kids deserve parents that want them, and you deserve your autonomy to live your life as more than a means to an end for demographics.

    • if governments addressed the resource hoarding and waste, more people who want to have kids would have them because they would have enough to have a good quality of life and standard of living, and we would also have addressed things like climate change and dystopic corpo control.

    This is, like, an undergrad project.

    1. work with the depressed grad student who is good at stats to determine the parameters of your experiment at the outset and calculate the number of subjects and stimuli for statistical power; pay in marking or research help.

    2. get an appropriate number of headshots from undergrad males for stimuli, give them intro psyc course credit for participating.

    3. work with mid-degree graphic design students to give all headshots 3 levels of chins (low, normal, emphasized), ensuring none are comical; the the psyc grad student signs off on the work as portfolio credit

    4. have an appropriate number of undergrad cis-het women subjects rate a your lineup for attractiveness; intro psyc course credit for participation

    5. analyze the results to see if low chin is selected less than normal or emphasized.

    6. submit your research paper and results; get your 4th year class capstone. Grad student takes your work and adds it to their dissertation, you get a footnote.

    I’m sure this has been done…
