Using the logic here, if 20,000 people die a day, 365 days in a year, 7,500,000 people would be saved if we feed them. So, where in this plan does overpopulation come into play? If you haven't been paying attention, human population is only increasing, with an extra 7,500,000 well fed individuals a year, are you going to tell them that they should procreate? This train of thought is for those with a messiah complex. Funny, b/c the movement goes out of it's way to denounce religious mindsets.

@sliplocke

This is a great point. Overpopulation could become a serious issue.

The amount of room we have on our planet is a finite resource. Of course there is always on the ocean, under the ocean and in space... But I agree that procreation is an important issue that needs to be addressed intelligently.

[DoctorNowShow]

Wow, you guys are fast!

Thanks for watching!

[WodeBolder]

fantastic.

i think this is the key issue... feed people for free and ALL other problems will naturally be solved.

stopping world hunger should be the dominant issue on EVERYONES mind!

good work guy

[Moodzulu]

Keep them coming great job.

[Noxictyz]

I must say, well chosen word and very pedagogic!

@sliplocke What does decrease human reproduction: Higher education about how the world works, more access to healthcare and the removal of the need to reproduce b/c the family need more labour power. The last one is the biggest factor in the 3:rd world where one more person getting water each day is essential for a family to survive.

Interesting, radical theory; it is possible to do this, i would of thought with a more radical designed building. Possibly hollow, courtyards etc. Unfortunately the world is run by satanists, so it's not going to happen until, were rid of these "leaders".

@sliplocke If most people were properly educated on the problems with overpopulation they may stop wanting to have children for the hell of it. Most people today do not know why they choose to have children, or lack a good reason for doing so.

[IntuitiveLeap]

@sliplocke I'd suggest including a short lesson in class, near this one, focusing on 'the exponential function' or 7% growth per annum. Perhaps if young humans learned the effects of the exponential function on population growth, among other things, the problem would be lessened merely by that education.

"Change is the only constant and sustainability goes against everything that is natural. "

There is no Utopia or Perfect.

Entropy *IS* a natural phenomenon. But that doesn't mean we can't repair as we go.

@sliplocke It's not a matter of "controling" human beings, it's a matter of understanding that our culture values have to change for sustainabillity. Our economic system is not sustainable either....resources grabbing to keep the economic system going is insane..

[sliplocke]

I'd compare the Venus Project to the current pharmaceutical industry or even how Cancer treatment is 'progressing.' Simply looking at society and picking and choosing what to treat and diagnose and what to throw away without actually killing the Cancer. It isn't a new idea, it is just a rearrangement of the old idea. You seek evolution through technology when it exists in the natural world. Change is the only constant and sustainability goes against everything that is natural.

[sliplocke]

@blaziermissy I understand our economic system, I understand many economic structures. What you are saying is the majority of problems stem from these failed structures and I can agree with you that many of our problems stem from them indeed. However, if you truly wish to fix a problem you don't look at the symptoms and treat them, you tackle the source, the original pathogen here is agriculture.

[blaziermissy]

@sliplocke Make it a point to understand how our economic system by design creates the behavior....creating the majority of problems. Our educ props up traditional power...

We can't blame it on our basic instincts and primacy..
