There is; a method used in India under the Gandhis, in the 1980s, where Kiosks-on-Wheels were trundled around the country dragging young men off
the streets for the Big Snip. This sounds most humane.

They better do something. India has surpassed China in population and isn't about to slow down.

China daily live births: 49,899: https://countrymeters.info/en/China

India daily live births: 67,385 according to UNICEF, though other estimates place the number between 72,000 and 80,000.

Paradoxically, this is a formula for both massive suffering at the personal level - as well as national/economic success.

You frequently see people claiming how India has this great "population pyramid" - with lots of young people - as compared to aging countries like Japan, US, Russia, etc - and how that is good national economic dominance,
but the fact is that it is awful for individuals.

And guess who actually benefits from "national economic dominance"? Yep,
the 1%. Not you or me.

The Hindoos WANT all that dirt-poor extra population. Rather than spend a
lot of money on high-tech automation, it's cheaper for them to hire two-dollar-a-day coolies to do all the work by hand...

There is nothing we can do, where we get economic benefit. It always
goes to the 1%, always. The system is geared that way, so we, really,
should not worry about productivity, the population pyramid, tax
breaks or anything like that, but in opposing the 1% and
redistributing the wealth. Unless we break their stranglehold ALL
economic benefit to anyone will go in their pockets.

That's what makes the U.S. unique among countries with strong religious
beliefs and traditional values. Ever notice that religious fundamentalism
and poverty in foreign countries seem to go hand-in-hand?

A VERY interesting statistic in relation to religion: If there's one generalization you can make about religion and wealth, it's that the less people "believe", the richer they stand a chance of being. 19 of the richest countries in the world have 70% or more of their populations saying that religion is not at all important in their lives. And the poorest societies
in the world are the most fundamentalist and superstitious.

Start with Rwanda and work your way down: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Importance_of_religion_by_country

In the world's poorest countries, simply EVERYONE is a "believer".

Why is religious belief so bad for wealth creation? Because in general, religiosity is connected with the idea that the here and now can't be
improved, so you should focus on the spiritual and look forward to a next
world instead of eking out a miserable existence in this one. It makes quite
a bit of sense when you live in a turd-world shithole.

In the rich world, on the other hand, people are generally great believers
in their capacity to alter their destiny through effort and perseverance.
To explain the "anomaly" of the United States, religion seems not to
slow down economic growth because it is a particular sort or religion: an overwhelmingly PROTESTANT and exceptionally materialistic kind. The American God doesn't want you to think of building the new Jerusalem in the next
world. He wants it here in L.A., New York, or Chicago.

We'll see long the "Protestant work ethic" lasts once the Millennials and Zoomers realize that their all their efforts have been in vain, with little
to look forward to besides long hours, low pay, no benefits, hellish working conditions, and asshole bosses, not to mention the whopping student loans
that they'll never be able to pay off...
