With the demand for gatekeeping and having these kind of vids stumble randomly on the Youtube feed, would it be farfetched if I say that maybe there is an on-going research to eliminate complications caused by inbreeding?
Thomas Robert Malthus irish
Thomas Robert Malthus was a key intellectual influence on British policies regarding Ireland, particularly during the 19th century. His theory that population growth inevitably outpaces food supply was used to justify the neglect of relief efforts during the Irish Potato Famine (1845–1849), where mass starvation was viewed by some officials as a natural check on overpopulation.
Malthus himself argued in 1817 that to utilize Ireland's resources, much of its population needed to be moved to manufacturing towns, a view that drew sharp criticism from contemporaries like Whitely Stokes, who blamed Irish distress on poor governance rather than population numbers. Additionally, Malthus’s ideas contributed to the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, which further impacted Irish welfare by linking aid to strict population control measures.
