They claim EVERYONE’S LIFESPAN IS PREDETERMINED, that when people are born their details are entered into a global database and every way they might die is factored in.
The problem with the database is that people are living too long and the population is out of control. 131M births vs 55M deaths every year.
In 1980 there were 382M people aged 60+, now there are more than a billion. By 2050 there will be two billion. THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE.
