I mean, he could have just created 200% more resources as well. Or he could have equally redistributed all the resources. The problem he was trying to solve would still eventually happen again, because solving the problem relies on everyone working unselfishly, which is simply not possible when humans are involved.
I think he should have cut the pregnancy rate to a third of what it is now. No one would notice. No one would die or be missed. There’d just be a lot less people within fifty years.
OK while that would be a better idea the thought that no one would notice is laughable. We have detailed pregnancy rate records going back 75 years, an immediate 30% change would definitely raise a lot of red flags.
I think he should have made everyone half size. Then they would have only needed half as many resources plus there’s a little tiny, angry Spiderman jumping around.
I kinda like the idea of randomly distributing how much each person gets shrunk. Each person ends up anywhere from 99.9% to 0.1% of their original size. Think of the added chaos it would create.

If they were half as large, they’d need less than half as many resources, as their volume would decrease by considerably more.

This would make a great short story. People would probably divorce and marry based on size
Yeah, I feel like it would create a hell of a lot more chaos than half the world disappearing. And hijinks. And genocide.
That wouldn’t have impressed death. He is into goth girls.
Actually a good point. He should have just done that.
Yeah, Dan Brown dealt with it in a much better manner.
