. . . . clever twist on my comments. . . .
Thanks. I wanted to express sympathy for your condition without expressing comradeship in it, by tweaking your nose at the same time as I patted you on the back.
I never ever worried about the fact that the world's population was increasing rapidly and I'll tell you why.
I'm a fish breeder and I've watched them die like flies, and human beings aren't a whole lot sturdier! There are things that could wipe out almost our entire population overnight.
I'm never worried about the world being overpopulated, because when I was a kid I lived on an Air Force base with Atomic weapons and B-52's and a blast proof blockhouse where my father worked watching for Russian missiles on the radar.
We all knew we were living on the Ragged Edge and there could be a war of nuclear weapons at any time.
We lived in a bomb shelter under the base bowling alley during the Cuban Missile Crisis, sleeping on army cots with green blankets hung for partitions. Our fathers were all on-duty, waiting for the buttons to get pushed.
That was nearly 60 years ago but It could still happen.
But that's not all . . . there are a bazillion asteroids flying around up there and many are surely at near relativistic speeds! Any day one could destroy 99% of the life on Earth.
But we don't even need to wait for that because there are huge magma Chambers under the crust of the earth just waiting to spew forth in large volcanic eruptions, and those things could be triggered by . . . who knows what? Rogue gravity waves are a real thing buddy. Just like ocean waves they can Blindside you.
We're pretty sure that the legends of Atlantis and Noah's Ark and other such Tales are based on the fact that human beings have been wiped out before and just barely survived.
It would be really stupid not to prepare for this happening again, and one way is to have a large, well mixed population, distributed all over the globe. It wouldn't hurt to have people on the moon and Mars and in space for a bit, but frankly those things are too Fringe right now to be as useful.
Finally I believe that we need to interbreed the races as rapidly as possible to avoid some of the problems of a weak genetic pool. Also to help with the problems of race relations, but genetics is the real concern.
All that being said, I think it's a ridiculous Prospect for people to breed more children than they can support and feed. Unfortunately a lot of people have found themselves in declining circumstances after the fact, and their prospects have diminished frighteningly.
I don't see this is a problem with man's usurpation of the Earth, but rather with man's inhumanity to man.
We have spent way too much time trying to save owls and kangaroo rats and the Vegas Valley flower loving fly. We have spent way too little thought on reparing and preparing Humanity.
I’ve never used this Emoji before! R.I.P Nipsy Hussle. News/Media try’s to blame it on gang violence, Wokers and conspiracist says it’s big pharmaceuticals companies!
