In a word, POPULATION.


i recently read an on-line article which held forth that the models are flawed and the future estimates are much too conservative. perhaps off by 25 to 30 percent.

anyway, while i agree that the pop is getting too big for our planet i also see no way of stopping its overwhelming increase without the use of eugenics, sterilization or euthanasia and i must say i don't think the genpop is gonna find favor with most of that shit. omg! soylent green is people!!!!!

and to get back to the question, since the inevitable colonization of outerspace will take care of our population issues , i guess i think that the best thing i could do is to dabble in a little gene work and find the thingy that turns on tolerance, and the doohicky that enables mercy and empathy. fix those and THEN all other ills all but dissapear.

but then i would have to begin methodically checking it in every human born using the doctor’s without borders org as my front, which i would have filled with my minions over the course of several decades as i built it up into a multinational policy making juggernaut. then, someday, my altruistic goal would be discovered and misinterpreted and the population would revolt and go berzerk because while manipulating their genes i accidentally screwed something else up and now they’ve gone crazy and after the melee is over only about 1/5 of the population is left standing.

hey, i solved the population problem!
