the unpopular idea: Humans, too many of you.

[Digit]

it's not an idea you hear said alot, because... well, most people are human, or know some humans they like, or are really close to some humans who are actively in the process of adding more humans.

"Humans, too many of you. someone needs to point that out by the way"
- Bill Hicks.

Some people have taken to various ideas that it's some kinda of dogmatic "social Darwinist" cult-like duty to kill off 80-90% of the world's population... idk of they are talking all life, or just the humans. either way, i dont think they have the correct answer. not really viable unless done on a voluntary basis. but that's not what they are attempting to put into action as far as i have seen.

so what about this idea of stop making so many new humans....?

again, it's gotta be voluntary... but people arent going to volunteer lest they comprehend the need to...? or is that an ineffective approach to take?
how about it be explained that the need to procreate comes from a survival urge, a reccognition that we in this state are dying off pretty quickly and need to create new replacement humans that are perhaps more likely to be selected from birth to be more suited to the environment and more addaptive...........? or maybe if we got closer to immortality in ourselves, we simply wouldnt have this procreation survival drive?
perhaps.

or how about extending our ability to accomodate so many... that would need some remarkable resources management here on earth, or it means expanding to elsewhere....
anyone know anywhere else with an oxygen rich atmosphere?




what other options are available to us besides this three areas explored here?

Keep 2 billion, kill the rest.

I would say the best solution to overpopulation is to colonize other planets, if we kill a percentage of the human population, who would decide who dies, or what would make someone inferior enough to be killed? and I don't see an effective amount of people who want to limit the amount of children they want. There are filters that convert CO2 into O2, so we could easily set up a colony on Mars, and that would give us enough room to figure out how to get to more distant planets in other solar systems. atleast that's the way I see it.

dude ive been thinking this for a while.

ever seen idiocracy with luke wilson?

its a silly movie, but valid point.

there's way too many people on this planet.

we desperately need another plague.

i cant stand all these "stop genocide" bullshit shirts.

if i catch people wearing them i pretty much ruin their day.

its not fucking genocide, its murder yea so what.

these people who are suffering are malnourished and unfit to survive in nature's terms.

sorry, but thats the truth.

stronger groups of people have been conquering and destroying weaker groups since the beginning of time.

so get the fuck over it and take off your ugly green shirts.

im gonna wear a "fuck darfur" shirt for halloween.

sorry to rant, but yes, there should be a mini-apocalypse, a cleansing if you will,

otherwise this place wont be fit to live with all of us.

But if you support a mass killing, how would you feel if everyone you knew was killed off, you;re old parents, ect..?

Or even yourself?

I dont have an opinion to as wether you should or shouldnt have a mass killing, but it would suck to die.

New planets FTW!

[Tonyizzle]

I say there is no need to kill off anyone. I think there is a need to regulate reproduction though.. We are breeding so quickly that it's going to be a disaster.

Man I would totally shake your hand for saying that shit right there, cause thats the muh fuckin truth!

EDIT: I got side tracked a bit. I think with reproduction limitation and spreading out,managing resources better, humans shouldnt have too many problems besides ourselves.

it is genocide and what the fuck is wrong with you thinking its ok

[Boosh]

Clearly you didnt read everything he said.

Do you think we are any less of animals just because we can walk and talk and drive cars? All we ARE is just another species of animal! And its all about Survival of the Fittest, in the wild, and even with humans over millions of years. Those poor african(poor indeed) are simply falling victim to survival of the fittest. Theyre dying off because they cant take care of themselves.

[notbakedenough]

People die every day. People are born every day. Its a simple equation that if more die compared to the amount born we're good.

No need for mass slaughter.

Also -rep to scooby. Its easy to be the big man, with his silly contraversial ideas when he isn't busy being rounded up and slaughtered. You refering to social darwinism, and maybe you should read up on it.

Werd... I have the same beliefs about the AIDS epidemic in Africa LET THEM DIE DAMMIT. I'm not trying to be cruel... But if they are allowed to live all they do is have more AIDS infested, malnourished children. It is a cycle that will keep repeating until we LET THEM DIE.

and when a bunch of peasants try to take matters into their own hands and make a better life for themselves, they get crushed by the government becuase it doesnt agree with their agenda
