Strategies for Justice

I discuss possible strategies to fulfill our needs for justice and equality. Are these possible? Do you have any ideas? Please share! Thanks to NLP for continuing this dialogue. His Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/NLPNVC

So the only way to help usher in another era of human equality can be done in two ways:

Create an abundance of resources

OR

Depopulate the planet to large enough degree that it can support a population that has no technology whatsoever, whilst destroying all remnants of science itself. This would probably mean less than 0.5 billion, world-wide.

Just my two cents.

Was that clear?

Was that even on topic, come to think of it?

[AdamHintz]

Do you think we could start reconnecting with the adundance already around us? How about reducing the population slowly over a long period of time? Do you think the population now can be sustained?

[FusionHalo]

The closest humanity has ever been to total equality occurred thousands of years ago when we were still hunter-gather societies. Resources were very scarce back then, and everyone was very reliant on everyone else. Since everyone in the community was of equal importance, there was virtually no stratification.

As surpluses developed, with the advent of agriculture and domestication of animals, some people slowly began to obtain more materials than others. This is how stratification happened.

[AdamHintz]

I'm not too sure resources were scarce. If you look at tribal people living outside of our culture you'll see they just choose not to stratify as a cultural norm even if abundance is present.

[FusionHalo]

That's exactly my point friend. We should not take the route of having to depopulate the planet.

However, to answer your question:

It'll happen naturally, if we do not act. We have major strains on all of our resources, from food, water, oil, and even things like native swamplands.

If we don't change, soon, in the next 50-60 years we'll see the human population decrease, for the first time in about 1,000 years.

@ FusionHalo

who decides who lives, who dies? would you sacrifice your life, your families and friends lives to stem over population?

[FusionHalo]

I think we can both agree that the current population can't be sustained at its current rates of consumption, though =p

[FusionHalo]

Well we certainly CAN reconnect with the abundance around us. Rather or not we will (collectively) choose to do so is another story.

It's hard to say about population. Right now I don't think the world is overpopulated. China and India have most of the world's people, yet it is the U.S. and Western Europe that consume most of the world's resources. The issue is consumption patterns, not population (not to imply that population isn't a factor, because it is).

[AdamHintz]

could you give me an example?

[Youngl3lood]

Because I find, somethings I don't want I need. Its gotta be some kind of emotional issue or something, its funny but then again its not even. confusing !
