Prophecies Nobody Wants to Hear, part I of V

[Suu]

You want to know what's going to happen?

Natural. Fucking. Disasters.

Africa is a hot bed of seismic and tropical activity. If people can't control their own population and if disease isn't working, then, well, the only answer is to wipe them out in one fell swoop with a massive fucking cyclone or tsunami on the coasts, and the Rift Valley completely sinking into a giant fucking caldera.

The problem, as I see it, is this.  There is only so much land on this earth.  As well, only so much of it is open land that can be farmed.  This is not something that is open for negotiation, it just is.

We can only add so many hormones and other chemical boosts to the seeds we plant and the animals we raise for food.  

At some point, either a global law of population control is going to have to be put in place or they are going to have to invent those food replicator things.  As I don't see food replicators being a prime goal, people are going to have to stop popping out kids.  

We can't make more land and no matter how well you farm it, everything has a limit of production.

My comment from a different thread, but I still think the same here.  However, I will take it a step further, one child per female.  If you say per couple then you are going to have to decide how to deal with those who are married 4 or 5 times.  What then?  That is 5 different couples and 5 different kids.....

A food replicator would be the final nail in the coffin.  Overpopulation is not just an issue of food.

That was part of my response in a different thread about food sortages.  I agree it is not just an issue of food.  I fully believe we will have to limit the number of children sooner than later.  I also think it should be per female and once said child is born then sterilization should be automatic.  

Otherwise this planet is fucked!

Good luck flying that one in Catholic or Muslim nations.

Never said it would happen, but we all know what will if it doesn't.  Where is god or allah when those people are starving?  Maybe the feeding of people (who choose to overbreed because of religious beliefs) should be left to said religion's deity.

Sorry Suu. Human action will be required.

[Prince Glittersnatch III]

It all has to do with oil.

Oil runs the tractors that harvest all the food to feed those people. The pesticides that protect the food are made from petrochemicals.
The plastics we make our medical equipment with, ect. ect.

Once oil runs out we will probably experience a cataclysmic drop in population(mostly from starvation), but after that things should be just peachy. Well, peachy for a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Humanity will rebuild and eventually repeat all the same mistakes again.

Lather rinse repeat into eternity.

And there is a very viable plan.  All it requires is that the person enacting it be a moral vacuum, and that it be kept quiet for 5 years, and then deal with mass insanity for about a 15-25 year period.

It would make Stalin and Pol Pot puke their guts up, but it would work.

Mass sterilization? Protect selected breeders?

Chemically sterilizing children via vaccines?

I don't think we have 20 years.

Tainted food exports.  There are plenty of drugs that sterilize people.  You'd need to get China and a few other exporters on board.

Two things:

1.  When the shit hits the fan, and it will, the person responsible will go down in history as Hitler and Lucretia Borgia combined, and

2.  When people realize they aren't capable of breeding, you will have a period of the mass insanity that passes through China every now and again.

So, the question is, is it worth it?  It's an ugly moral choice.

Sometimes there IS no "moral" solution.

The good news is the ones still breeding WOULD be the ones growing their own food...

Is it less moral than allowing billions to starve? Personally, I don't think so.

You're making an assumption, there.

We should have the capacity to add those chemicals into crops still in the ground. We have far worse things.

Granted.  What I get for serious discussions while I'm trying to work.
