the topic came up in the thread
It shouldn't really have. Usual suspects. The topic bleeds into every thread and usually by people (don't take it personally - I wasn't thinking of you) who've not done a blind thing in their lives to attempt to mitigate it by doing something that increases opportunity and economic development in the poorest countries.
it implies Europe is an infinite space.... it's like the population projections for Africa that would only be possible if Africa were run in very.... non-African ways.
That's true, however Europe is the most affluent and urbanised continent and more and more will come. Space is not their main consideration.
I suspect that people movement (and the growth of AI) will be the defining trends of our century, barring another technological leap and/or WW3.
Anyway, best to continue the discussion, should you wish, in more appoporiate threads. When I get back from work, I'll maybe look for some grisly crimes to post about.
I had an idea a while ago to write about the Mazur Cannibal Family (a thing in the late 50s/early 60s about a particularly dangerous family to the north of Warsaw) or about the 1990s infamous Warsaw Head Basher who used to creep up behind women in the centre of Warsaw, bash them on the head with a hammer and then run away. He was never caught..
