Thanos

You know, there are people like Thanos on Earth, who believe that the solution to all our problems is a mass extinction of some sort.  Bill Gates seems to be of this camp.  He keeps talking about how awful a global pandemic would be, but if you study his beliefs, he can’t have failed to see what, within his world view, would be the upside of such a catastrophe.

And these ideas sometimes appear naked in public spaces, as with the monuments in Georgia: http://www.amusingplanet.com/2015/05/georgia-guidestones-doomsday-monument.html

Obviously, we can’t support unlimited population growth forever, but there is no reason we cannot all decide to plan on reducing the population over the next few centuries.  This is the strategic role of the Global Warming hoax, in that it allows those pushing it to claim that we only have a little time, when in reality we have quite a bit of time, as far as anyone can tell.

Yes, things would be better in many ways if we had, say, 2 billion people on Earth.  But as I understand the math, we could fit everyone now living into suburban houses in the State of Texas, and give most of them back yards.  The rest of the Earth would have no one living on it.  There is lots of room, and lots of uncultivated land.

And if the Earth does warm that will free up hundred of thousands of square miles of added farmland, depending on how far north the ice line goes.

There is no need to panic.  What we need to work on first is global emotional health, which will necessarily involve gradually weeding out the psychopaths.  How we do this, I’m not yet sure.  My best guess is that if we can demonstrate the survival of death, beyond any reasonable doubt, many people who are currently beset by demonic ideas originating in their own sense of the pointlessness and futility of existence will evolve in new and more positive directions.

There is nothing more important than knowing if we survive death or not, but if you pick any possible research topic, like whether or not right handed or left handed people pick their noses more often, it will almost certainly be better funded.  Why?  This is ludicrous.  We spend many billions of research on everything under the sun, most of it merely validating things which were already reasonably obvious.  Some government has probably funded studies showing men in general prefer large breasts and that many women like chocolate.

This is the world we live in.  Hopefully one day it starts making more sense.
