Fewer people...mind you...we couldn't even feed fewer people than we have now. There are no magic bullets in this life. We take the good with the bad and weigh the balance.
Quote:No, Ben, again, the problem is that we need nutrients and energy. It's that simple. I'm not even going to touch your useless people bullshit with a tenfoot pole. What an animal lover we have on our hands, so long as that animal isn't human. Go fuck yourself and take your useless people bullshit with you. You always have the option of reducing the load by precisely 1. But no, you're not one of those useless people, I'm guessing. Not part of the problem. Not a drain.
The problem is that we don't have a family or small village of relatively fully-functioning humans and their few cows a year that they feed grass to. We have millions of (essentially) useless people, who contribute nothing to the food production but constantly act as a drain on it. We don't need that many people for species survival. We don't need them for the full range of human abilities and experiences to manifest. There's just no reason for them to exist except that we are eating, shitting, fucking machines.
Quote:Anyway, I think if you are going to go artificial, there are other ways to do it. For example, brainless cow research. Or research with algae, lichen, mushrooms, etc. Massive GM research or the ability to lay down programmed DNA sequences could give viable systems in the future.People are hungry now...and all of those options still require nutrients and energy. That's how it works. Organic chemistry 101.
Quote:But we are fundamentally dishonest. We eat meat thinking it's decent, natural food. But it's not. It's as artificial as all the things I mentioned, with the added bonus of causing a lot of suffering.As artificial as the vegetables we eat. The vegetables which cause alot of suffering. Have you ever seen a wild tomato forest? Do you think that soybeans sprouted out of the primordial earth the way they look on your plate?
